Chuco (fish)
''Chuco'' is a genus of medium-sized cichlid fishes from moderately to fast-flowing rivers and streams on the Atlantic slope of southern Mexico and northern Central America. Taxonomy and species Historically, ''Chuco'' was included in ''Cichlasoma''. Subsequently, the species were moved to ''Theraps'', but in 2016 it was shown that they are not close relatives of the ''Theraps'' type species, ''T. irregularis'', resulting in them being moved to ''Chuco'' (another species was moved to ''Wajpamheros''). There are currently three recognized species in the genus ''Chuco'': * ''Chuco godmanni'' – southern checkmark cichlid * ''Chuco intermedium'' – northern checkmark cichlid * ''Chuco microphthalmus'' References
