Hubbs and Bonham (1951:104) and Hubbs and Lagler (1958:82) retained N. b. jejunus as a valid subspecies; however, this was not substantiated by Suttkus and Clemmer (1968) and the subspecies name has since fallen from use (, Gilbert 1978; Smith 1979). Donated Material Syntypes [CAS-SU 1278 (3, ); (label in jar says "Illinois River, Illinois"); ISLNH ace. no. 243?]. [CAS 29302 ex. old IU 4725 (2, ); (label in jar says simply "Illi- nois"); ISLNH ace. no. 243?]. Remarks: Information on CAS specimens is from Gilbert (1978:51); specimens are presumed to be of the syntypic series originally accessioned as ISLNH Trycherodon megalops Forbes 1883. Paralectotype. INHS 26956, Illinois River [Long Lake] at Pekin, [Tazewell County, Illinois] (= Opsopoeodus emiliae emiliae). Trycherodon megalops Forbes 1883. in Jordan and Gilbert 1883:247. Lectotype [USNM 28406 ( mm SL)]; Illinois River [Long Lake] at Pekin, [Tazewell County, Illinois; Forbes; 27 October 1879; ISLNH ace. no. 180]. Remarks: Original description of genus and species based on syntypic series of "several" specimens from three different localities; length of largest specimen given as 2 1/5 inches. Gilbert and Bailey (1972:21) desig- nated the lectotype, thereby restricting the type locality to Illinois River, Long Lake, at Pekin. Paralectotypes The following specimens were recov- ered after Smith and Bridges' (1960) publication and apparently overlooked by Gilbert and Bailey (1972) and Gilbert (1978). They ar
