=Etheostoma (Nothonotus) tippecanoe Jordan and Evermann. 

 See Bailey (1959). 



Etheostoma (Psychromaster) trisella Bailey and Richards, 1963, Occ. 

 Pap. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, no. 630, pi. 1, D-E. 



Holotype: UMMZ 180073 (1, 35), Alabama, Cherokee Co., 

 Cowans Cr., trib. of Spring Cr. which flows into Coosa R. at Jordans 

 Farm on U.S. 411, 6.7 mi. SE. of Centre; E. A. Lachner and P. S. 

 Handwerk; Sept. 13, 1947; orig. CU 18579. 



= Etheostoma (Psychromaster) trisella Bailey and Richards. 



Etheostoma (Etheostoma) tuscumbia Gilbert and Swain in GUbert, 1887, 

 Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 10, p. 63. 



Syntypes: SU 1003 (30, 25-48) and BMNH 1894.5.18.26-27 

 (2, 28-31), large spring at Tuscumbia flowing into Tennessee R.; 

 C. H. Gilbert and J. Swain; summer, 1884; one of types figured by 

 Jordan and Evermann (1900, fig. 467). Apparently UMMZ 187512 

 (44, 22-35), orig. lU 1380, then lU 5666, specimens aknost completely 

 disintegrated, are also syntypes, although they are not listed as types 

 in the lU catalogs. 



USNM 36154 with the same data also originally contained syntypes. 

 This jar was found completely dried out in March 1937 and only 

 fragments now remain. We believe that not many specimens were 

 m the jar at that time because old correspondence of Barton Bean 

 shows that at least 37 specimens from this series were sent out as 

 "duplicate sets" to 37 high schools and other such institutions during 

 the period Aug. 4, 1902 to Dec. 12, 1903. We assume that Bean was 

 unaware that USNM 36154 contained types, for he certainly would 

 not have sent type material to such institutions as the public schools 

 of Kent, Wis.; Omaha, Nebr.; Windfall, Ind.; Galliopolis, Ohio; 

 Helena, Mont.; Savanna, 111.; Northwood, Iowa; Lovington, 111.; 

 Wiconisco, Pa.; the Free Public Library of Vinton, Iowa; the San 

 Antonio Female College, Tex.; and the Ursuline Seminary, New 

 Rochelle, N.Y. ! 



Bohlke (1953) and BaUey and Richards (1963) gave USNM 36154 

 as holotype. Bohlke listed SU 1003 as paratypes. From the number 

 of specimens distributed out of USNM 36154, it is clear that all of 

 the original type material should be listed as syntypes. 



Bohlke erroneously listed SU 2683 (2, 27-28) as paratypes, but 

 these specimens were collected at Florence, Ala., a locality not men- 

 tioned in the original description. Bailey and Richards (1963) listed 

 USNM 43484 and 63115 and UMMZ 43484 as paratopotypes, but 

 this material was collected by Kirsch in 1889, subsequent to the 

 original description of E. tuscumbia, and so they are merely topotypes.
