NO. 3550 DARTERS — COLLETTE AND KNAPP 55 



=Etheostoma (Etheostoma) zonale vinctipes (Jordan), a valid sub- 

 species according to Dr. Chu-fa Tsai (pers. comm.). 



Nothonotus inscriptus Jordan and Brayton, 1878, U.S. Nat. Mus., 



BuU. 12(A), p. 34. 



Lectotype: USNM 31145 (9, 43), Georgia, Hall Co., Oconee R. at 



Sulphur Springs; D. S. Jordan and A. W. Brayton; summer, 1877; 



herein selected. D X-10; A 11,8; LL 49; prevomerine teeth present; 



6 dorsal blotches; cheeks, opercles, prepectoral area, and breast 

 naked; nape completely scaled. 



Paralectotype?: USNM 197439 (cT, 42), apparently same data 

 as lectotype. 



We select USNM 31145 as lectotype for the following reasons. 

 The original description was based on two syn types, male and female. 

 USNM 31145 has the proper data and is labeled type, so it is clearly 

 part of the type series. The male that we believe is the other syntype 

 was discovered in the USNM collection labeled USNM 31132, Etheo- 

 stoma, Etowah R., Georgia, Jordan and Brayton. A^. inscriptum was 

 reported only from the type locality in the original description, so it 

 seems probable that this locality is in error. Under the species 

 column in the USNM catalog we found the following entry for 

 USNM 31132: ''Notropis stilbius Semotilus, etc. (Etheostoma)," and 

 for the locality "Etowah R., Rome, Ga, (chiefly)." It is apparent 

 that the data for the specimen of inscriptus under USNM 31132 are 

 totally confused. Therefore, in order to avoid further confusion should 

 other specimens be found bearing this number, we recataloged this 

 specimen as USNM 197439 and designate USNM 31145 as lectotype, 

 because it is the specimen that we are certain is part of the type 

 material.
