Scott and Grossman (1973) included its distribution in Manitoba as in the Red River in south- em Manitoba, perhaps based on a 1955 collection by J. J. Keleher from the Whitemouth River at Whitemouth, Manitoba, catalogued at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM 17539), but more likely because of the reports of the species from the Red River Basin in Minnesota (Derksen, personal com- munication). The species does not occur along the axis of the Red River in Manitoba (K. Stewart, Department of Zoology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba; personal communication). No other reliable literature records are known, although the species has been collected several times since from the Whitemouth and as recently as 1984 (ROM 45731; NMC 84-0010, NMO85-0002). A previously unreported 1976 collection from Lake Manitoba, at Delta Marsh (50°12'00"N, 98° 20'00"W), catalogued in the Canadian Museum of Nature Collection (NMC 76-0421), has been re-examined and identified as Notropis atherinoides, not Notropis rubellus (B. Coad, Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Ontario; personal communication). Protection Rosyface Shiners are not subject to any specific protection in Canada, but general protection is afforded, if required, in Manitoba through the provincial Endangered Species Act. In Quebec, the species has been given little, or no attention, but could be given specific protection under provincial legislation (Endangered Species Act and law on fau- nic habitats) if required. In the , Rosyface Shiners are considered to be of "special concern" only in the sta
