The Maryland darter (Etheostoma sellare) is freshwater fish species that has been found only in Deer Creek, Maryland. It is now a thought to be extinct. It was long known only by two specimens until it was rediscovered in 1962. From 1965 to the 1980s, it was only confined to a single riffle in Deer Creek. The species may have fallen victim to habitat destruction. It was last observed in 1988. While the IUCN has declared the species extinct,[1] the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has not, and keeps it on the Endangered Species List.[2]
