Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque. Bluegill. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H, 
J,K,L. Abundant and generally distributed throughout the state. 
Lepomis marginatus (Holbrook). Dollar sunfish. A,B. Known only 
from Murpheys Pond, Hickman County (SIUC), where it is uncommon 
(Burr and Mayden 1979), and Terrapin Creek, Graves County (SIUC), 
where five specimens were recently taken. 
Lepomis megalotis (Rafinesque). Longear sunfish. A,B,C, 
D,E,F,G,H,J,K,L. Abundant throughout the state. 
Lepomis microlophus (GUnther). Redear sunfish. A,C,D,E,F,G, 
J,K,L. Sporadic and uncommon throughout the state, excluding the up- 
per Cumberland River drainage. Several records from eastern Kentucky 
probably are based on introductions. 
Lepomis punctatus (Valenciennes). Spotted sunfish. A. Known from 
seven localities in extreme western Kentucky (INHS, SIUC), where it is 
taken from lowland streams and lakes (Burr and Mayden 1979) and 
never appears to be common. 
Lepomis symmetricus Forbes. Bantam sunfish. A. Known from six 
localities in extreme western Kentucky (INHS, MSU, UL, SIUC), where 
it is sometimes common (e.g., in Murphey’s Pond, Hickman County). 
Micropterus coosae Hubbs and Bailey. Redeye bass. H. Introduced. 
Known only from Martins Fork and tributaries, Bell County (UL). 
Although the provenance of this population is unknown (Clay 1975) it 
seems highly unlikely that the species is native to Kentucky. 
Micropterus dolomieui Lacepede. Smallmouth bass. C,D,E,F,G,H, 
J,K,L. Generally distributed in upland streams throughout the eastern 
two-thirds of Kentucky. Occasional in the Land Between the Lakes area, 
where it was more common before impoundment. 
Micropterus punctulatus (Rafinesque). Spotted bass. A,C,D,E,F, 
G,H,J,K,L. Generally distributed throughout the state except in the ex- 
treme west, where it is uncommon. 
Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede). Largemouth bass. A,C,D,E, 
F,G,H,J,K. Generally distributed throughout the state, except for region 
L. 
Pomoxis annularis Rafinesque. White crappie. A,C,D,E,F,G,H, 
J,K,L. Generally distributed in lakes and rivers throughout the state. 
Pomoxis nigromaculatus (Lesueur). Black crappie. A,C,D,E,F,G,H, 
J,K. Sporadic in lakes and rivers throughout the state except for region 
L. Records indicate that it is less common than the white crappie.

Ammocrypta asprella (Jordan). Crystal darter. D,F. Known from 
four old records: Cumberland River, Lyon County (FMNH), Green 
River, Edmonson County (USNM), Green River, Green County 
(UMMZ), and Ohio River, Greenup-Boyd counties (CAS-SU). Not 
collected in Kentucky since 1929 and considered extirpated.
