The hybrid fishes described herein are Chrosomus erythrogaster (Rafinesque) × Notropis cornutus frontalis (Agassiz), C. erythrogaster × Semotilus atromaculatus (Mitchill), Campostoma anomalum plumbeum (Girard) × S. atromaculatus, Gila nigrescens (Girard) × Rhinichthys cataractae (Valenciennes), and Notropis venustus venustus (Girard) × Notropis whipplei (Girard).
