Lepidopygopsis is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, which includes the carps, barbs and related fishes. The only species in the genus is the peninsular hill trout (Lepidopygopsis typus), [3] a species endmeic to India, weher it is restricted to the Periyar and lake in Kerala. [4] The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies this species as Endangered stating that it is threatened by invasive fish species, pollution and a dam. [1]

The Chapultepec splitfin, known locally as mexcalpique, is a critically endangered species of fish in the family Goodeidae. It is endemic to Mexico and was originally restricted to lakes and wetlands in the Valley of Mexico, including Lake Texcoco. Through man-made channels it was able to spread to the upper Pánuco River basin. Most native populations disappeared as they were at or near Mexico City, with the waters either being reclaimed, drained, heavily polluted or infested with introduced species. Today the Chapultepec splitfin is only known to survive in three lakes in the Chapultepec park of Mexico City, Lake Xochimilco, Lake Zumpango, Laguna de Tecocomulco northeast of the City where perhaps introduced, and parts of the Pánuco River basin. Most of these remaining populations are small. This species was originally described as Cyprinus viviparus in 1837 by Miguel Bustamante y Septién with the type locality given as "Mexico". In 1860 Pieter Bleeker raised the genus Girardinichthys with a new species Girardinichthys viviparus as its type species, this subsequently proved to be a taxonomy of Cyprinus viviparus.
