These two forms, since the end of the 30's (Hubbs, 1936 & 1938), have not been registered again. The type locality of 'C.' u. ericymba still exists (Fig. 4), in apparent good conditions. However, in a recent visit, I could not see cichlids there. On the other hand, the catfish (Rhamdia guatemalensis) still lives there. Cenote Conchita, another type locality, has probably disappeared, causing the extinction 'C.' u. conchitae. The conservation status of other subspecies is unknown; explicit studies have not been made yet.
