Habitat: Indiana to Texas and Rio Grande. 



In my former papers I identified this species with L. macro- 

 chirus Raf. The pharangeals are not so broad nor the teeth 

 so paved as in E. giblwsus. This fact, and the absence of the 

 scarlet opercular spot in first examples taken, led me to identify 

 this species with L. macrochirus. I am in doubt as to whether 

 or not it is identical with E. heros (B. & G.), as the types of this 

 species were taken in Texas, where, in many respects, the fish 

 fauna is different from that of the St. Francis Basin and South- 

 ern Missouri.
