Allotocas
Allotoca
Allotoca is a genus of splitfins that are endemic to west-central and southwest Mexico, where restricted to the Lerna–Chapala–Grande de Santiago, Ameca and Balsas river basins, as well as various endorheic lake basins in Michoacán and Jalisco (Pátzcuaro, Zirahuén, Cuitzeo, Magdalena and others). All Allotoca species are seriously threatened.
The largest Allotoca is up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long, but most species only reach between half and three-quarter that size.
