Remarks: Original description based on syntypic series of three specimens, one of which was recently found in the INHS collection and is herein desig- nated the lectotype (the other two specimens have not been located and are presumed lost). The specimen was incompletely preserved and is in poor condition. It bares a tag with the ink notation "N. exilis, 111. ; and is referred to in the ISLNH accession catalog as "Noturus exilis, type, Illinois River" (no date given). Forbes and Richardson (1909:199) considered this species to be described "from speci- mens found in the Illinois ; However, Nelson's original description cited specimens from McLean County, which places the type locality in the Mackinaw River (locality listed on pg. 33 of Nelson 1876). Because McLean County neither includes nor borders the Illinois River proper, references to "Illinois River" are assumed to indicate the drainage rather than the precise collecting locality. During his revision of Noturus, Taylor (1969:62) did not locate any type material of N. exilis and proposed that the specimens were destroyed in the Indiana University fire of 1883 (types of other species de- scribed by Nelson were located at IU, , Etheostoma phoxocephalum). He did not designate a neotype and considered the probable type locality to be Mackinaw Creek (= River). Noturus stanauli Etnier and Jenkins 1980. Etnier and Jenkins 1980:19, Figs. 1, 2.
