Ammocrypta clara Jordan and Meek. Western sand darter. F,H. 
Known from two localities: Green River, Green County (Woolman 
1892), and Cumberland River, Wayne County (UMMZ). Not collected 
in Kentucky since 1925, when it was recorded from the part of the Cum- 
berland River now impounded as Lake Cumberland. Probably extir- 
pated. 
Ammocrypta pellucida (Putnam). Eastern sand darter. E,F,J,K,L. 
Recent collecting effort indicates that this species, which was formerly 
reasonably common in eastern Kentucky, is rapidly declining in num- 
bers. Probably still present in portions of the Green, Kentucky, Licking, 
Big Sandy and Ohio rivers. 
Ammocrypta vivax Hay. Scaly sand darter. C. Known only from two 
specimens taken in a preimpoundment study of the lower Tennessee 
River. The specimens are from Jonathon Creek, Marshall County 
(UMMZ), and were reported by Starnes et al. (1977). Probably extir- 
pated, since most of lower Jonathon Creek is now part of the impounded 
waters of Kentucky Lake. 
Etheostoma asprigene (Forbes). Mud darter. A,D,E. Most collec- 
tions come from areas bordering the Mississippi and lower Ohio rivers. 
Seven recent collections (KNP, SIUC) are available from the lower 
Green River drainage. Common at some localities in extreme western 
Kentucky. 
Etheostoma atripinne (Jordan). Cumberland snubnose darter. D,H. 
An uncommon species known from six localities in the Cumberland 
River drainage in Todd, Logan, Wayne and Pulaski counties. 
Etheostoma barbouri Kuehne and Small. Teardrop darter. E,F. En- 
demic to the upper Barren and upper Green rivers where it is common in 
small to medium-size streams. 
Etheostoma bellum Zorach. Orangefin darter. F. Endemic to the up- 
per Green and Barren rivers where it is common in fast, gravel and 
boulder riffles. 
Etheostoma blennioides Rafinesque. Greenside darter. D,E,F,G,H, 
J,K,L. Generally distributed from the lower Cumberland River, Trigg 
County, eastward, avoiding most of the lowlands in region E. 
Etheostoma caeruleum Storer. Rainbow darter. C,D,E,F,G,H,J,K,L. 
Generally distributed from the Land Between the Lakes area eastward, 
avoiding the lowland areas in region E. 
Etheostoma camurum (Cope). Bluebreast darter. H,J. Found only in 
the upper Cumberland River drainage below Cumberland Falls, and the 
upper Kentucky River drainage. 
Etheostoma chlorosomum (Hay). Bluntnose darter. A,C,D,E. Com- 
mon in the lower Cumberland River and westward. Three recent records 
from the Tradewater River drainage (SIUC). A record from Caney 
Creek, Grayson County (UL), needs substantiation. 
Etheostoma cinereum Storer. Ashy darter. D,H. Known only from
