Moxostoma aureolum (JI,e Sueur). RED-HORSE; MULLET; 
WHITE SUCKER. 
Head 4 to 5, flattened above ; snout slightly projecting ; eye 434 in head. 
Body rather stout, somewhat compressed ; back, little elevated; depth 4 in 
length. D. 13. or more rarely 12 or 14; A. 7; scales about 45. Color oliva- 
ceous above, sides silvery ; lower fins reddish, especially during the breed- 
ing season. 
Until very recent years this has been recorded as two species, 
the short-headed, small-mouthed form as J/. aurveolum, and the 
more ordinary form as 17. macrolepidotum duquesnii (Le Sueur). 
This matter is cleared up by Jordan and Evermann (Bull. 47, 
U.S. Natl. Mus.). It is very probable that some collectors have 
confused the short-headed form with JZ. breviceps (Cope), as I 
can find no record of AZ. breviceps for Ohio in any paper preceding 
Bull. 47, U. S. Natl. Mus., in which it is recorded as abundant 
in some portions of the state. However, as I have no direct evi- 
dence of any such error, I include all records for J7. aureolum 
and JZ. macrolepidotum duquesnit under M. aureolum. Ohio
