Teretulus crassilabris JORDAN & COPELAND, Check List, 157, 1876. (Name only.) 

 Myxostoma crassilabris JORDAN, Man. Vert. ed. 2d, 314, 1878. 



HABITAT. Neuse River, North Carolina. 



This species is known only from Professor Cope's description. It 

 appears to be distinct from M. aureolum, which is probably its nearest 

 relative. Nothing has been noted in regard to its habits. 



8. MYXOSTOMA CONUS (Cope) Jordan. 

 Long-nosed Mullet. 



1870Ptychostomus conus, COPE, Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. Phila. 478. 



Teretulus conus, JORDAN & COPELAND, Check List, 157, 1876. (Name only.) 

 Myxostoma conus, JORDAN, Man. Vert. ed. 2d, 314, 1878. 



HABITAT. Yadkin River, North Carolina. 



This species is also known only from Professor Cope's account. There 

 appears, however, to be no room for doubt as to its specific distinction. 

 As stated by Professor Cope, " this fish represents the P. coregonus in 

 the section with fully-developed lips." 



It is taken in large numbers in the Yadkin Eiver, " with Pt. collapsus, 

 Pt. robustus, etc., but is of less value than they." 



9. MYXOSTOMA ANISUEA (Rafinesque) Jordan. 

 Long-tailed Red Horse. 



1820 Catostomus anisurus RAFINESQUE, Ichthyologia Ohiensis, 54. 

 Myxostoma anisura JORDAN, Man. Vert. ed. 2d, 315, 1878.
