The Parras characodon (Characodon garmani) is a species of goodeid fish{{Fishbase|Characodon|garmani|month=April|year=2019}} once endemic to Coahuila, Mexico. Its natural habitats were destroyed between 1900 and 1953, and no records have been made in the last century; it is considered extinct, although the validity of this taxon and where the actual type locality is are subject to some doubt.{{cite web | url = http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/fishcatget.asp?spid=56567 | title =Characodon garmani | accessdate = 19 September 2019 | website = Goodeidae Working Group}} The specific name honours the American herpetologist and ichthyologist Samuel Garman (1843–1927).{{cite web | url = http://www.etyfish.org/cyprinodontiformes3/ | work = The ETYFish Project Fish Name Etymology Database | author1 = Christopher Scharpf | author2 = Kenneth J.
