Poeciliopsis
Poeciliopsis is a genus of poeciliid fishes that primarily are native to Mexico and Central America. The only exceptions are P. turrubarensis where the range extends into Colombia, and P. occidentalis where the range extends into Arizona and New Mexico, and P. gracilis which has been accidentally introduced into fast flowing drainage ditches that flow into the north-eastern end of the Salton Sea in California.
