= Etheostoma (Microperca) Jonticola (Jordan and Gilbert). 



Alvordius aspro Cope and Jordan in Jordan, 1877, Proc. Acad. Nat. 

 Sci. Philadelphia, vol. 29, p. 51, based on the figure but not the 

 description of ''Etheostoma blennioides" in Kirtland, 1841, Boston 

 Journ. Nat. Hist., p. 3, pi. 6, fig. 1. 

 Types: This name was proposed as "Alvordius aspro, Cope and 

 Jordan, nom. sp. nov.," a replacement name for Etheostoma blennioides 

 of Kirtland's figure. However, the name clearly applies to a new 

 species based on Kirtland's misidentified figure. Cope and Jordan 

 did not provide any description, did not mention any localities, and 

 gave no indication of having any material before them. Therefore, 

 the type of A. aspro must be the specimen from the Mahoning River, 

 Ohio, from which Kirtland drew his figure. We have not been able 

 to locate this specimen. However, there are two specimens collected 

 by Jordan from the White River in Indiana. One, labeled "paratype," 

 is USNM 20137, and the other, labeled "cotype," is BMNH 

 1880.1.21.84. In the same year that A. aspro was described, Jordan 

 (1877, p. 375) listed A. aspro as "frequent" in collections made by 

 Copeland and Jordan in the White River around Indianapolis. The 

 USNM and BMNH specimens should not be considered as type 

 material because the original description was based only on the 

 references to Kirtland's figure.
