Paralecto types: SU 4036 (6, 16-67), same data as lectotype; 3 

 specimens (17-20), apparently Etheostoma (Boleosoma) sp., removed 

 and recataloged as SU 62429.

 and Bailey (1961). 



Etheostoma nigra Rafinesque, 1820, Ichthyologia Ohiensis, p. 37. 



Types: The original description was based on material from the 

 Green R., Kentucky. As Call (1899) noted, Rafinesque did not 

 preserve any of his type material.

Etheostoma oheyense Kirsch, 1892, Bull. U.S. Fish. Comm., vol. 10, 

 p. 292, fig. 



Lectotype: USNM 45565 (cf, 52), Kentucky, Clinton Co., trib. 

 of Cumberland R.; P. H. Kirsch; fall, 1889 or spring, 1890; selected 

 and figured by Jordan and Evermann (1896, p. 1092 and 1900, fig. 

 463) ; selection herein confirmed. 



Paralectotyi^es: Kh^sch collected a total of 210 specimens from 

 four Clinton Co. tributaries of the Cumberland in the fall of 1889 

 and spring of 1890: Indian Cr., 21; Sprmg Cr., 36; Smith Cr., 23; 

 and Albany Branch, 130. We have been able to locate the following: 

 SU 5116 (41, 28-51), Albany Branch, 2 Etheostoma spectabile removed 

 by Knapp and recataloged as SU 62132. SU 1918 (38, 32-55), 

 Spring Cr. This bottle was broken during the earthquake, which 

 may account for the presence of two more specimens. All are 

 E. oheyense, so perhaps Kirsch erred in his count of 36. BMNH 

 1892.12.30.136-139 (4, 35^1) Albany Branch, one small specunen of 

 E. {Oligocephalus) spectabile removed and recataloged as BMNH 

 1892.12.30.140. 



USNM 46207 (6, 28-43), Wayne Co., Beaver Cr., 1891 were 

 labeled as types but were collected after the types and at a locality 

 not mentioned in the origmal description and so are not tjrpes. 



= Etheostoma {Catonotus) oheyense Kirsch.
