Nosferatu is a genus of cichlid fishes endemic to the Rio Panuco Basin and the tributaries of the adjacent Tamiahua Lagoon (to the South) and San Andrés Lagoon (to the North) in the states of Veracruz, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí and Tamaulipas, Mexico. The genus is characterized by a prolongation in the size of the symphysial pair of teeth relative to that of the other teeth in the outer row of the upper jaw (nosferatuform teeth); breeding pigmentation that consists of darkening of ventral area extending over nostrils, opercular series, and pectoral fins; depressed dorsal fin rarely expands beyond anterior third of caudal fin; and an elongated, elastic, smooth caecum adhered to a saccular stomach.[1]

All species in Nosferatu had previously belonged to its sister genus Herichthys.

Bonsoir,
Cette discussion m'a rappelé que junior a déjà nommé des "poissons vampires" : P. Breidohri ! Et je pense que ce surnom n'est pas venu par hasard...
Il y a aussi les "vaches" : N. Tetracanthus et les rouge-gorge...
