Brooks M. Burr 
F,H,J,K. Uncommon in the Green River, Green County (UMMZ), the 
upper Kentucky River drainage, Owsley County (UL, UMMZ), and Big 
South Fork of the Cumberland River, McCreary County (KNP). Oc- 
casional in the middle part of the Licking River (KFW, UL). 
Etheostoma variatum Kirtland. Variegate darter. J,K,L. Generally 
distributed throughout the upper Kentucky and Licking River systems, 
and all of region L where it may be common in swift riffles. 
Etheostoma virgatum (Jordan). Striped darter. D,H. Known only 
from the Cumberland River drainage, where it is common in Red River, 
Todd and Logan counties, and Buck Creek and Rockcastle River 
tributaries below the falls in the upper Cumberland River. 
Etheostoma zonale (Cope). Banded darter. B,E,F,G,FI,J,K,L. Un- 
evenly distributed in the eastern two-thirds of the state. Specimens from 
region B represent the distinctive subspecies E. z. lynceum. 
Etheostoma species. Undescribed. Golden snubnose darter. C,D. 
Generally distributed throughout the lower Cumberland River drainage 
in Kentucky. There is one preimpoundment record from the lower Ten- 
nessee River drainage (UMMZ). 
Etheostoma species. Undescribed. Emerald darter. H ,J . Common in 
parts of the upper Cumberland and Kentucky River drainages. 
Etheostoma species. Undescribed. Lowland snubnose darter. C. 
Abundant in Clarks and Blood River drainages, and there is one preim- 
poundment record from the lower Tennessee River. 
Etheostoma species. Undescribed. Red snubnose darter. B. Oc- 
casional in Terrapin Creek, Graves County (SIUC). 
Etheostoma species. Undescribed. Splendid darter. F. Endemic to 
the upper Barren River system where it is common in pools and 
raceways. 
Etheostoma species. Undescribed. Green River snubnose darter. F. 
Endemic to the upper Green River system where it is occasional to 
sporadic. 
Perea flavescens (Mitchill). Yellow perch. D. Sporadic and rare in 
the main channel of the Ohio River; one record from the lower Cum- 
berland River is probably an introduction. It is not certain whether the 
individuals that occasionally appear in the Ohio River are stragglers from 
native populations in other parts of the species’ range or escapees from 
introduced populations. 
Percina burtoni Fowler. Blotchside logperch. H. Known from one 
record from Little South Fork of the Cumberland River, Wayne County 
(Woolman 1892). Some of the specimens that Woolman called P. 
caprodes were later reidentified as P. burtoni by Robert E. Jenkins 
(Comiskey and Etnier 1972). Probably extirpated in Kentucky, although 
Comiskey nearly missed capturing what he thought was this species dur- 
ing his survey of fishes of the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River 
(Comiskey and Etnier 1972).
