40 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL RIUSEUM vol. u9 



Jordan and Evermann did not report this species from there. Locality 

 in the lU catalog for 1169 is apparently S. Fork of Holston R. at 

 Holstein Mills, Va. However, as with SU 992, this specimen must 

 be from Middle Fork of Holston R. at Marion or S. Fork of Swanna- 

 noa R. at Black Mountain. 



=Etheostoma (Etheostoma) swannanoa Jordan and Evermann. 



Etheostoma tessellata D. H. Storer, 1845, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. 

 Hist., vol. 2, p. 48. Original description repeated almost ver- 

 batim in Storer (1846). 

 Syn types: Alabama, Florence; received from C. A. Hentz. We 

 have been unable to find any type material of this nominal form. 



= ?Percina (Ericosma) evides (Jordan and Copeland) according to 

 Bailey (1959, p. 2). Although E. tessellata Storer is a senior synonym 

 of Alvordius evides Jordan and Copeland, 1877, it is not available be- 

 cause tessellata is preoccupied in Etheostoma by Boleosoma tessellatum 

 DeKay, 1842. 



Etheostoma tippecanoe Jordan and Evermann, 1890, Proc. U.S. Nat. 

 Mus., vol. 13, p. 3 [with fig. of E. camurum]. 



Lectotype: USNM 40080 (1, 29), Indiana, Tippecanoe R. at Marsh- 

 land; B. W. Evermann; herein selected. D Xn-13; A II, 8; LL 

 37 + 16 = 53; cheeks, prepectoral area, nape, and breast naked; opercle 

 scaled; anterior part of belly naked along midline. 



Paralectotype: USNM 197919 (1, 26), out of USNM 40080. 



Four specimens are mentioned in the original description of E. 

 tippecanoe. The two USNM specimens fit the original description 

 and the cm-rent concept of E. tippecanoe. The other two syntypes 

 apparently are UMMZ 187513 (2, 29-44), orig. lU 1194, then lU 

 4688. They have the belly completely scaled and lateral line scale 

 counts of about 54+0 = 54 and 66 + 1=67. The larger one is a speci- 

 men of E. camurum and the smaller one probably is also. Jordan and 

 Evermann (1896, p. 1090) wrote that the original description of E. 

 tippecanoe was accompanied by a figiu-e of E. camurum "by an error 

 of printer." We believe that the specimen figiu-ed in Jordan and 

 Evermann is the smaller specimen in UMMZ 187513. We count the 

 same nmnber of lateral line scales on the figure and the small specimen. 

 The original drawing is labeled as a specimen iKe in. long (total 

 length) from no. 40080. This is equal to a standard length of about 

 29 mm. Three sets of comments are written on the original drawing. 

 "The drawing is bad, but it was made from specimens sent to the 

 National Museum as types of E. tippecanoe." "This is probably E. 

 camurum. Certainly not E. tippecanoe. Anal fin very bad." "Fear- 

 ful and not taken from our type."
