Hubbs C and Springer VG. 1957. A Revision of the Gambusia nobilis Species Group, with descriptions of three new species, and notes on their variation, ecology, and evolution. Texas Journal of Science. 9(3):279-327
In the last review of the Gambusia nobilis species group, Carl L. Hubbs (1929) recognized four species: G. nobilis (Baird and Girard), G. senilis Girard, G. gaigei Hubbs, and G. affinis Baird and Girard. The species with which the nmne affinis was associated then only, is herein occorded a new name, G. geiseri. True G. affinis does not belong to this species group. Two other previously unreporled forms, G. hurtadoi and G. alvarezi, are also described. The variation, ecology, and evolution in the several species are discussed.
