Georef. RemarksSame locality as ANSP 158698, ANSP 158699 [both ex LACM 9626, ref. Mark Sabaj] (q.v.), and others already geo-referenced but not found by searching my History. All collected by Meek in 1903, and have not been found since (CD Barbour, personal communication; he says the species might be very susceptible to pollution). NOTE: Refugio is actually in Oaxaca state, not Veracruz. Also, CD Barbour says Menidia lisa was placed in Atherinella by Barry Chernoff; please correct/update if relevant.
