16. LEPOMIS MACROCHIRUS. 
Lepomis macrochira Rafinesque, Journ.de Phys.,420, 1819 (Ohio River, Licking 
River, etc.). 
Icthelis macrochira Rafinesque, Ich. Oh., 27, 1820. 
Lepiopomus macrochirus Jordan, Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist., 386, 1877. 
Lepomis macrochirus Jordan & Gilbert, Syn. Fish. N. A., 475, 1883. 
Lepomis nephelus Cope, Journ. Amer. Phil. Soc., 222, 1868 (Kiskiminitas River, 
Western Pennsylvania). 
Habitat: Ohio Valley; western Pennsylvania to Kentucky and Illi- 
nois. 
Etymology : MaxpoZ, long ; yjip, hand. 
This species is rather scarce and has doubtless been cdnfounded with 
Lepomis liumilis , which it must resemble in form and color. L. macro- 
chimes has, however, smaller scales and much longer pectorals than L. 
liumilis , its pectorals being scarcely shorter than in L.pallidus. The 
specimens here described were collected by Mr. A. J. Woolman at 
Tradewater Eiver, Dawson Springs, Kentucky. This stream is a trib- 
utary of the Ohio.
