 Genus XENOTIS, Jordan. 



38. Xenotis megalotis (Raf.) Jordan. Blue and Orange Sun-fish. (M. 

 Y. 242; Ichthelis megalotis and /. sanguinolentus Nelson, 38.) 



Generally abundant. Illinois River; Clear Cr., in Union Co., 

 Wabash R., Mackinaw Cr., Fox R. 



39. * Xenotis aureolus Jordan. Gilded Sun-fish. (M. V. 243 ; Ichthelis 

 macrochira Nelson, 38.) 



Probably abundant in small streams, but not certainly identified 

 from the state. 



40. *Xenotis lythrochloris Jordan. Blue and Green Sun-fish. (M. V. 

 243.) 



Abundant in small streams tributary to the Wabash in Indiana, 

 but not yet recorded from Illinois. 



41. Xenotis inscriptus (Agassiz) Jordan. Blue-green SuN-FiSH. (M. V. 

 243 ; Ichthelis inscriptus Nelson, 38.) 



Moderately common in grassy ponds and streams in the south- 

 ern part of the state. WabasK R., Cairo. 



42. Xenotis peltastes (Cope) Jordan. (M. V. 243; Ichthelis anagallinus 

 Nelson 38.) 



Probably not very common. I have seen the specimen referred 

 to by Mr. Nelson from Fox R.; and I have one or two more from 

 the Wabash in Indiana, 



Genus EUPOMOTIS, Gill & Jordan. 



43. Eupomotis aureus (Wall.) Gill & Jordan. Common Sun-fish. Pump- 

 kin Seed. (M. V.244; Pomotis auritus '^qI^oxi, 38.)

 Rock River. 



44. Eupomotis pallidus (Ag.) Gill & Jordan. Pale Sun-fish. (M. V. 

 244.) 



Probably not common. I have seen specimens from near St. 

 Louis. The resemblance of this species to Lepiopomus pallidus is 

 very strong. 



Genus COPELANDIA, Jordan. 



45. * Copelandia eriarcha Jordan. (M. V. 246.) 



As yet known only from streams near Milwaukee. It doubtless 

 occurs in other tributaries of Lake Michigan.
