Head 3.66 in length; depth 3.33; eye 4 in head; snout 4; interorbital 
space 2.66; depth of caudal peduncle 2.40; height of dorsal 4.66 in length; 
anal 5.75; length of jiectoral 5.66; ventral 6; caudal 3.83; scales in lateral 
line 33 ; between dorsal and occiput 15 ; between dorsal and ventral tins 
10; D. 8; A. 7. Body deep and wide, deepest part anterior to insertion of 
dorsal; caudal peduncle long and slender; snout blunt, rounded; mouth 
oblique; jaws equal; maxillary reaching to a vertical from posterior 
nostril. Teeth 4-4, slender, hooked, grinding surface narrow, absent on 
smallest tooth. Gill-rakers short, blunt; 9 on first arch. Intestinal canal 
short, with but 1 convolution; peritoneum white, scales large, not 
notably deeper than long; lateral line incomplete, extending only as far 
as posterior edge of pectoral. Dorsal fin rounded, the second, third, and 
fourth rays longest; anal fin similar in shape; ventral rounded, extend- 
ing to vent, inserted directly under dorsal; pectoral rounded; caudal 
forked, the lobes rounded. 
Color silvery, an indefinite dark band extending from tip of snout to 
end of caudal peduncle; the band distinct on snout and caudal peduncle, 
broader and almost obsolete on middle of body ; top of head and a narrow 
band on median dorsal part of body dark; ventral parts of body immacu- 
late, except a narrow, dark band extending along base of anal and ventral 
part of caudal peduncle; chin white; scales on upjier parts with dark 
edges; dorsal and caudal fins slightly dusky; other fins lighter. 
This species is of small size, the mature males measuring about 34 mm. 
in length of body ; the females 43. The males are more slender and have 
a little less dark color on the body. The affinities of INoh-opis calientia are 
with Notropis cayuga, jordani, and others of the subgeuus Chriope. The 
species may be distinguished by its small eye, short, rounded snout, deep 
body, short lateral line, and rounded fins. (Jordan & Snyder.)

Page 965. The generic name lihomhua was first used by Humphreys in 
1797 for a genus of mollusks, and can not therefore be used in fishes. Its 
place in fishes will be taken by Peprilua Cuvier (1817).
