The Cachorrito de la Trinidad, also known in English as the Charco Azul pupfish (Cyprinodon inmemoriam), was a small
undescribed species of Cambarellus crayfish.[4][5] The specific name inmemoriam means "in memory" and signifies the extinction of the species due to its native spring being dried out by groundwater extraction soon after the discovery of this fish in 1983.[6]
