Goodea luitpoldii, the green goodea, is a species of killifish from the family Goodeidae which is endemic to the drainage basin of the Lerma River and the Grande de Santiago River in Mexico.[1] This species was Species description described as Characodon luitpoldii by the Franz Steindachner in 1894 with the type locality given as Lake Pátzcuaro in Michoacán.[2] The identity of the person honoured in its specific name is unknown but it is thought likely to be Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria (1821-1912) whose daughter, Princess Therese of Bavaria (1850-1925) was an explorer and amateur naturalist and she collected the type.[3]
