The Baetican toothcarp, Apricaphanius baeticus, is endemic to a small part of southern Spain, mostly in the lower Guadalquivir River basin. It was considered a geographic variant of A. iberus until 2002, and differs in details such as thicker vertical bars in males and a few large dark markings in females. Only nine isolated populations remain, and it has been listed as endangered by the IUCN since 2006.
