Genus XENOTIS, Jordan. 
38. Xenotis megalotis (Raf.) Jordan. Blue and Orange Sun-fish. (M. 
Y. 242; Ichthelis megalotis and I. 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 W abash 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. Wabash 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 EUPOMOT1S , Gill & Jordan. 
43. Eupomotis aureus (Wall.) Gill & Jordan.. Common Sun-fish. Pump- 
kin Seed. (M. V. 244 ; Pomotis auritus Nelson, 38.) 
Very common throughout the northern third of the state, its 
abundance and distribution being the same as of the Yellow 
Perch. Peoria, Crystal Lake, Ogle Co., Henry, Lake Michigan ; 
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.
