Allotoca goslinei
Allotoca goslinei, commonly known as the banded allotoca or tiro rayado in Spanish, is a species of fish in the family Goodeidae. First described in 1987, it was once endemic only to the Ameca River basin in the Mexican state of Jalisco. It is now known to be extinct in the wild.
Its specific name honors American ichthyologist William A. Gosline for his research on cyprinodontoid fish.
