Iv CHECK LIST OF THE FISHES AND FISHLIKE VERTEBRATES OF NORTH AND MIDDLE AMERICA NORTH OF THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF VENEZUELA AND COLOMBIA * By Davip Starr JoRDAN, BARTON WARREN: EVERMANN, and HowarbD WALTON CLARK INTRODUCTION , The present memoir comprises a list of all the fishes and fishlike vertebrates known to occur in the waters of north and middle America; more specifically all of continental America north of the Isthmus of Panama, and the outlying islands including the West Indies, the Greater and the Lesser Antilles, Greenland, Iceland, and the islands off the Pacific coast of Central America, Mexico, the United States, and Alaska. The salt-water species on the northern coasts of Co- lombia and Venezuela have been included. Those of the Galapagos, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the west coast of Kamchatka are not included. Oceanic species in general within the 1,000-fathom curve have been admitted, although it is not always easy to draw the line. The majority of the species included will be found described in Fishes of North and Middle America, a 4-volume work by Jordan and Evermann published in 1896 to 1900 as Bulletin 47 of the United States National Museum. No other general work restricted to this continent and containing descriptions of all known species has been written. On that work was based the Check List of 1896 by Jordan and Evermann, of which the present Check List may be regarded as a revision. In the present list are given, in as natural sequence as our present knowledge permits, (1) the names of all species and subspecies that the authors admit as valid, (2) as many of the vernacular or common names for each species as have been readily obtainable, (3) the known geographic distribution of each species, (4) the reference to the original description of the species, and (5) the reference to every real synonym. If a species has been described as new but once, there will, of course, be but one reference (as, for example, Photo- corynus spiniceps on p. 509); if it has been described as new six times there will be six references (as, for example, Hupomotis gibbosus on p. 302). Thus, this work 3s really a check list of all the scientific names that have ever been applied to any American fish. As 4,139 species and subspecies are admitted as valid, and as there are more than 3,000 real synonyms, it appears that each American fish has been described as new about two times on an average. The first attempt at a Synopsis of the Fishes of North America was published by David Humphreys Storer in the Memoirs of the Ameri- 1 Appendix X to the Report of the U. 8S. Commissioner of Fisheries for 1928. B. F. Doc. 1055. 1 2 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES ean Academy of Arts and Sciences of Boston in 1846. That work enumerates 739 species distributed in 221 genera. As the fishes of the Rocky Mountain region, Mexico, the Pacific coast, and the West Indies were then scarcely known, this list was very incomplete and the nomenclature naturally was imperfect. After an elaborate survey of the Pacific coast fish fauna in 1880, David Starr Jordan and the late Charles Henry Gilbert published a Synopsis of the Fishes of North America (1882), including all species known north of the Mexican boundary. The 1,340 species names in that synopsis were arranged in 487 genera; a few other species appeared in the appendix. Jordan’s Catalogue of the Fishes Known to Inhabit the Waters of North America North of the Tropic of Cancer (1887) was based on this synopsis and includes a number of additional species. In the present memoir we have followed implicitly the rules of nomenclature laid,down by the International Commission for Zoo- logical Nomenclature, of which the senior author has been a member since 1908. One single case now under discussion (Carcharias) has not been disposed of fully as yet, and the view recommended by Jordan is adopted here tentatively. An important rule set forth by Jordan and Evermann in 1895 has not been acted upon. This rule reads: ‘‘We regard all generic names as different unless actually spelled alike.” In accordance with decisions of the commission, another rule, which we have followed, is this: ‘‘No change is to be made in current nomenclature unless the case is fairly clear; as, for example, a matter of priority.’ In general we have followed current practice rather than accept questionable changes. One doubtful opinion should not be exchanged for another. The original orthog- raphy of all names (misprints aside) has been retained. Some supposed misprints (Cypsilurus, Pachynathus, etc.) have been referred to the International Commission, whose verdicts have been followed. Tn accordance with the decision of the International Commission, we have disregarded (unless revived by later authors) the polynomial generic names of Gronow, Klein, Browne, and other able early writers, who failed to adopt the Linnean code simply because they had not heard of it. This decision rests not on consideration of justice but upon that of permanence. The most serious problem in taxonomy is that of the assignment of generic types to the genera of authors who had no conception of types. ‘The “‘rule of the first reviser’’ was adopted by the commission at Boston in 1908, and the present writers have endeavored to follow it. By far the most complete work on North American fishes is that by Jordan and Evermann, mentioned above—the Fishes of North and Middle America. In that work the authors recognized 1,113 genera, 3,263 species, and 133 subspecies—a total of 3,396 species and sub- species. The check list of Fishes and Fishlike Vertebrates of North and Middle America, by Jordan and Evermann, based upon the above and published in 1896, enumerates 3,100 species arranged in 1,053 genera, these being about double those in the Jordan catalogue of 1887, the additions being mainly from Mexico, the West Indies, and the deep seas. The late modern period in systematic ichthyology is from 1880 to the present time and is especially signalized by the explorations of CHECK LIST OF FISHES 4 the deep sea, of most of the continents, and of fossil beds. The un- exampled explorations of Eigenmann in South America belong to this period, as also the records of Boulenger of the fishes of South Africa and the varied researches of Regan in the rich material of the British Museum. In this period the faunas of Australia, Japan, and Siberia have been studied critically and successfully. Our knowledge of fossil fishes is assuming definite form through the work of Wood- ward, Zittel, Hay, Errol Ivor White, and others who have given verte- brate paleontology, as related to ichthyology, a constructive turn. We may again emphasize the distinction between the ancient and modern periods in animal taxonomy. Beginning with 1758, the date of Linnzus’s Systema Nature, for 60 years a genus was usually regarded merely as a convenient pigeonhole into which species were thrown. With Cuvier’s Régne Animal (1817) came the conception of arrangement ‘‘according to organization,’ or comparative anat- omy. With Darwin’s Origin of Species, 40 years later (1859), zoologists began, though slowly at first, to realize that a classification must be more than an inventory; that its basis must be genetic, and that the problems involved in natural grouping are vastly more complex than even great morphologists like Cuvier and Agassiz had realized. To paraphrase a sentence of Elliott Coues, “genera and species are but larger and smaller twigs of a tree, which we try to arrange as nearly as possible in accordance with nature’s rami- fications.””’ This view, applied to taxonomy, involves the extensive subdivision of accepted genera, many of which were in the highest degree unnatural. Subdivision as practiced in the present paper may go too far in some eases, but our material must be analyzed first before we can group its parts in natural synthesis. No system of naming can progress beyond the knowledge on which it rests. We may emphasize here a statement attributed to Aristotle that “fone should never expect a degree of accuracy which the subject matter does not permit.” Each tendency in evolution, large or small, diverging from the main current, should properly stand as a separate genus. The problem of subspecies among fishes is especially incomplete and confused. Most of the marine species are clearly definable and not often subject to intergradations. Among the fresh-water forms, all sorts of modifications occur. A species, in general, is a definable group of related individuals that have run the gauntlet of life and have endured. Among our river fishes we find species of different types. There are numerous cases of species of compact though often wide distribution, in which all individuals are, to all appear- ances, similar. Examples of this type are the common perch (Perca fluviatilis), the common sucker (Catostomus commersonii), and the minnows (Ericymba buccata and Exoglossum mazillingua). Other forms, which we have elsewhere called geminate or twin species, may be distinct enough, having a few tangible characters of difference in spite of general resemblance. These, for the most part, are set apart from each other by barriers, their distinctness proportional to the efficiency of the barrier. Their origin may be due to the crossing of these barriers by individuals from the mass of their kind, thus acquiring a different environment with a different type of selection. Illustrations of geminate species set off by isolation may be found in abundance, as among the trout of western America, and other species, 4 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES especially in the Panama region, where many geminate species are found on each side of the Isthmus, which has split its species from their mates since Miocene times. The Miocene fossil fishes of Cali- fornia are largely geminate in origin, twins or parents of species now appearing on the coast. In most cases such forms are clearly distinct but to all appearance ancestral, the existing distinctions apparently due to varying incidents of selection in varying environment. Gem- inate species rarely inhabit the same region, though exceptions are known, attributable to reinvasion. In many cases the distinctions between geminate forms are not complete, intergradations occurring along the line of the barriers or at different sections in climatic range. Types thus connected are known as subspecies. Subspecies are often nascent species; but in most cases a large amount of material is necessary before subspecies can be separated from geminate species. Among fresh-water fishes, each river basin shows some features of distinction, large or small, as does each oceanic island with regard to marine fishes. In most families of American river fishes studies of species have not been extensive enough to establish facts of intergradation. While in birds, reptiles, and mammals the subspecies are usually well defined and named, among the fishes this is still largely a matter of guess- work. Many authors base the recognition of subspecies not on actual intergradation but on guesses based on degrees of probability, a practice we have not followed. It has seemed to us better to regard related forms as distinct species until intergradation has been shown. We find also among river fishes, and sometimes among marine forms (as in Lutianus), occasional individuals that to all appearance are hybrids. These are marked by a distinct blending of specific traits. They are extremely rare, however, often known only from a single example. A few hybrids are known or suspected among certain minnows, sunfishes, and darters. The best-known hybrids thus far recorded in America occur among the Centrarchide, or sunfishes, in which group they have been studied critically by Mr. Hubbs. Two common species (Apomotis cyanellus and Eupomotis gibbosus) figure particularly as probable parents. Hybrids may give rise to distinct species, but no example of this is known among our fishes. Among fishes there are also occasional monstrosities, freaks, or “‘mutations,”’ in which certain traits may be absent or exaggerated. Whether such qualities may be inherited is not known. If so, it is likely that they would soon be swamped by breeding with the mass unless especially protected by segregation. It does not appear that any species of fishes have arisen by mutation or from hybridization, though the latter possibility is greater than the former. We may observe that compilations such as the present paper should constitute an exercise in modesty. Such work can never be made absolutely complete nor free from errors. It deals with the obser- vations and thoughts of great minds, as also with a degree of ignor- rance, carelessness, and perversity, by which names have been multiplied without corresponding extension of ideas. Synonymy (the use of different names for the same group) in general represents the lack of exact knowledge or else a failure (often unavoidable) to deal justly with the work of others. It is, therefore, as has been said by Doctor Coues, often ‘‘a burden and disgrace to science.” CHECK LIST OF FISHES 5 Only those who have had experience in cataloguing, in a similar way, the species in some large group of animals or plants can appre- ciate the difficulties involved. In the first place, in order to make the list complete by the inclusion of all valid names and all real synonyms it was necessary to make a careful search of all ichthyological litera- ture. It is too much to expect that we have been entirely successful in this search; some names probably have been overlooked. The verification of the thousands of references as to the publication, volume, page, date, spelling, and type locality, was even more exacting and arduous; but most difficult of all were the multitude of taxonomic problems involved. In many cases existing knowledge is not adequate for final settlement. It is not improbable that some of our decisions as to the taxonomic relationships of certain species and the validity of others may not meet the approval of all of our coworkers, but that is inevitable where knowledge is incomplete. The present senior author, as a lifelong teacher of biology, may be pardoned a personal reference. Himself a student of Agassiz and Gill of the earlier period, he has had the honor of being also a friend, to some extent a protégé, of Baird, Giinther, Vaillant, Liitken, Hilgendorf, and Cope. In addition, he has numbered among his own students many of those active in systematic ichthyology during the late modern period. Among these are James Francis Abbott, Willis Stanley Blatchley, Charles Harvey Bollman, Alembert Win- throp Brayton, Charles Victor Burke, Howard Walton Clark*, Herbert Edson Copeland, Frank Cramer, George Bliss Culver, Bradley Moore Davis, Mary Cynthia Dickerson, Charles Lincoln Edwards, Carl H.

Moenkhaus, John Treadwell Nichols, Lewis Radcliffe, Josiah Thomas Scovell, and Alfred Cleveland Weed. : Many of these have made important contributions to our knowl- edge of fishes. The preparation of this Check List has extended over a period of more than 20 years. It was begun in 1906 by the senior authors, 6 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES who worked upon it from time to time, as their other duties per- mitted, until 1925, when they were joined by the junior author, who thereafter gave most of his time to the work until its completion. The senior authors also have devoted much of their time to it since 1925. During the progress of the work the authors have endeavored to consult and utilize every record bearing on the fish fauna of America. In addition to this they have received invaluable assistance and sug- gestions from virtually every present-day student of American fishes, among whom special mention should be made of the late Dr. Charles Henry Gilbert and Prof. John Otterbein Snyder of Stanford Uni- versity, Dr. William Converse Kendall of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, Dr. Carl Leavitt Hubbs of the University of Michigan, George Sprague Myers of Stanford University, Barton Appler Bean of the United States National Museum, William Francis Thompson of the International Fisheries Commission, Dr. Arthur W. Henn of the Carnegie Museum, John Treadwell ‘Nichols and Dr. E. W. Gudger of the American Museum of Natural History, and many others. To all these we express our indebtedness and grateful appreciation. For clerical assistance of one kind or another, par- ticularly in looking up and verifying references, we are oreatly indebted to Miss Jessie E. Drayton, Harry J. ‘Christoffers, and Henry D. Aller, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries. Without the assistance so generously given by these and others, this memoir could hardly have been completed. Davip Srarr JoRDAN.

RHINOTRIACIS Gill. Rhinotriacis Gill, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei. Phila., XIV, 1862, 486 (Rhinotriacis henlei Gill). ‘The European synonymy of Mustelus mustelus and Cynias canis is in a state of great confusion, as few of the earlier writers recognized any difference between the two species externally very much alike. 7The genus Galeus of Rafinesque was based on species with spiracles, differing from Squalus by the presence of an anal fin. One new species is described, Galeus melastomus, later type of Bonaparte’s genus Pristiurus; but on the same page and the next-page Rafinesque speaks of other species—Galeus vulpecula, G. catulus, and G. mustelus. It is plain that Squalus galeus L. was his intended type, after the general custom of writers who elevated species to the rank of genus; but he does not mention that species in the paper nor in his Indice, and as Squalus galeus was therefore not available as type, Jordan and Gilbert selected Squalus mustelus for that purpose, thus making Galeus Rafinesque a synonym of Mustelus Leach, rather than to displace Pristiurus. Apparently this procedure was allowable, unless some earlier author had chosen either Pristiurus melastomas o 1 Scylliorhinus catulus (canicula) for that purpose. 6424°—29——-2 14 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44, 45.

Me- Culloch, of the Australian Museum: “The name Carcharodon is not used by Smith. The earliest reference to it is that of Miiller and Henle, as quoted above. These authors saw Smith’s specimens (p. 33) and perhaps heard his paper read at the Zoological Society in September, 1837. They, therefore, quoted the name as of Smith. But Smith’s paper was not published until February 13, 1838, he having read Miiller and Henle’s paper about a month previously, in which Carcharodon appeared, and he evidently withdrew it with names he refers to in his paper.”’ (In lit.

Phila., VIII, 1856, 201 (Cyprinus (Abramis) batleatus Richardson}. % The various American allies of Leuciseus Cuvier (type Cyprinus leuciscus L. of Europe, Squalius), we now divide among several genera, these corresponding to the subgenera in the previous check list. No species belonging to Leuciscus, as strictly defined, occurs in America or Asia. Many of the species, both in the groups allied to Leuciscus and Rutilus as well as in those related to Hybopsis and Notropis need comparison and verification. Richardsonius is here restricted to the single species, balteatus, distinguished, with its variant, by the very long anal fin. The genus Cheonda is provisionally recognized for species more or less similar to Rich- ardsonius but with the anal fin shorter. This group seems to merge into Tigoma, species with the anal fin short and the seales rather loosely imbricated. One species, carina, forms another intermediate type with short anal and very small scales. Any arrangement of these fishes must be still wholly provisional, 118 835. 836. 837. 838. 839. 840. 841. 842. 843. U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Richardsonius siuslawi (Hvermann and Meek).

C. 7 The name Notropis atherinoides was given by Rafinesque to a small and very slender miunow from Lake Erie. It was apparently a semi-dried example having therefore a ridge on the back as implied in the name Notropis. It had a long anal fin of 11 rays, and the dorsal inserted b2hind the ventrals. Among the small minnows of the Great Lakes it could hardly be anything else than rubellus; yet the original de scription is very incomplete and perhaps not identifiable. As this is the oldest name for any of the small American minnows with four teeth in the main row of the pharyngeals, and as distinctions of genera among these is especially difficult, the writers in 1896 extended the name to include them all. But this assemblage is hardly a natural one, as the species diverge in various directions. Hence, in this catalogue the former subgenera are given generic rank. 124 883. 884. 885. 886. 887. 888. 889. 890. 891. 892. 893. 894. 895. U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES Notropis telescopus (Cope).
