Ray, there should be no rathbuni in KY ... rathbuni
are found on the east side of the appalachians in NC
and VA. I have collected notatus and catenatus in ky
but none of the others...of course I have yet to
collect in the reelfoot area where there are several
more fundulus species....but in the louisville area I
would expect notatus .... I would be surprised if
olivaceous is there too, but not that surprised. The
Red River has Catenatus and notatus...not sure about
olivaceous ... I havent caught that one there. It
would be surprising indeed to find yet another
fundulus species in the upper red river of ky....can
you take a pic?

Steve, the red river where you collected has two
snubnose darters... When I collected there, I caught
many golden snubnose darters and just a few atripinne,
though I got some. Check your collection again and
you might see that you actually have two species.

Also you
