Distribution: Atlantic versant of Texas (USA) and México, from the Rio Grande/ Bravo-system south to Rio Misantla at the Punta del Morro. H. cyanoguttatus was introduced in the Guadelupe river system in Central Texas and other places in México.

Further information: Stawikowski & Werner (1998) differentiated between Herichthys, which includes the species around H. cyanoguttatus, and the 'Cichlasoma' bartoni-group. According to these authors, the two groups differ in their trophic adaptiations, the body proportions of the adults, the presence of iridescent spots on the scales and in details of the color pattern during breeding. New molecular phylogenetic analyses showed that these two groups together form a monophyletic group (Hulsey et al. 2004). Thus both groups should be included into Herichthys. The data of Hulsey et al. (2004), however, also provide evidence that there are indeed to species groups within Herichthys, which correspond to the differentiation of Stawikowski & Werner (1998).

Within the genus Herichthys, there apparently are several undescribed species.

H. cyanoguttatus-group
Herichthys cyanoguttatus Baird & Girard, 1854
Herichthys carpintis (Jordan & Snyder, 1900)
Herichthys deppii (Heckel, 1840)

Herichthys tamasopoensis Artigas Azas, 1993
H. bartoni-group

Herichthys labridens (Pellegrin, 1903)
Herichthys pantostictus (Taylor & Miller, 1983)
