Chirostoma charari, the least silverside, is an extinct species of neotropical silverside endemic to Mexico.[1] This species was only found in a spring in the Lake Cuitzeo basin on the Mesa Central of the Mexican Plateau. It had a longer head and jaw, as well as larger teeth and eyes than other Chirostoma species.[2]
