Forbes and Richardson 1905:38, Pis. 4 (top), 5(1), 6(1), 7(1). Syntypes [INHS 26944] ([3 entire + 2 heads only], 19 to 43 in. to base of caudal fin, all male); Mississippi River at or near Grafton, [Jersey County], Illinois; re- ceived from Ashlock; [18-27 May, 6 July, and 14 October 1904; ISLNH ace. nos. 27765 (3), 27771 (1), and 27773 (1), respectively]. Remarks: Original description based on syntypic series of nine specimens, five of which were recovered by Smith and Bridges (1960:253); the others are listed as missing. Specimens are in very poor condition and stained green from the copper container in which they were originally stored. A photograph of an entire specimen was published with the description; however, it is impossible to determine unequivocally whether the photograph represents one of the extant syntypes. Missing: Syntypes ISLNH ace. no. 27772 (3), 5 October 1904; and ISLNH ace. no. 27773 (1 of 2), 14 October 1904. (see Donated Material). Taxonomic Status = Scaphirhynchus albus (Forbes and Richardson 1905) On their new species Forbes and Richardson (1905:38) commented: " generic criteria proposed for the scaphirhynchoids by Berg ('04), we regard this form as generically distinct from species hitherto ; Forbes and Richardson (1905) thereby proposed Parascaphirhynchus as a new genus. According to Bailey and Cross (1954:173), Berg (1911:138, 308-309, and 1948:104) did not support this decision and placed albus in Scaphirhynchus Heckel 1836. Bailey and Cross (1954) agr
