Simpsonichthys myersi is an annual killifish from minor coastal river basins in eastern Brazil, in Bahia and Espírito Santo states. Its range lies between the rio Jucuruçu and the rio Doce. It inhabits rain-fed pools and swamps that dry out each year, when the adults die and the eggs wait in diapause until the rains return. Whether it is conspecific with S. izecksohni remains unclear.
