Cyprinodon rubrofluviatilis, known as the Red River pupfish, is a species of pupfish from the United States. It is found only in the Red River of the South and Brazos River drainages of Texas and Oklahoma.[2]
It grows to a total length of 5.8 cm (2.3 in) and feeds on midge larvae and other insects.[3] It was first described by Henry Weed Fowler in 1916, as a subspecies of the species Cyprinodon bovinus;[4] the specific epithet rubrofluviatilis refers to the Red River.[3]
