Boleosoma maculaticeps Cope, 1870, Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, vol. 11, 

 p. 269. 



Lectot5Ape: ANSP 13862 {d", 45), North Carolina, upper waters of 

 Catawba R.; E. D. Cope; selected and illustrated by Fowler (1907, 

 p. 523, fig. 6). AU 15 syntypes were stiU in the same bottle. The 

 next to the largest specimen is closest (55.4 mm.) in total length to 

 the size indicated by Fowler for the "type" (57.0 mm.), and it has the 

 correct number of fin rays : D IX-13 ; A 11,8. These are also the counts 

 given by Cope in the original description. The lectotype has 43 

 lateral line scales, close to Fowler's figure which has about 45. This 

 specimen herein confirmed as lectotype. INF 8; POM 10; pectoral 

 rays 12-12. 



Paralecto types: ANSP 13863-76 (14, 23-48), same data as lecto- 

 type.
