- Abstract
Bauer, Bruce H., David A. Etnier, and Noel M. Burkhead. 1994. Etheostoma (Ulocentra) scotti (Osteichthyes: Percidae), a new darter from the Etowah River system in Georgia. Bunetin Alabama Museum of Natural History, Number 17:1-166 tables, 3 figures. Etheostoma scotti, a new darter of the subgenus Ulocentra, is described from the Mobile Basin, where it is endemic to the middle portion of the Etowah River system of north Georgia. It is one of three Ulocentra species that occurs in the Etowah system, with E. brevirostrum occurring in a few tributaries to the upper Etowah River and E. coosae occurring in the lower end of the system. Etheostoma scotti is a member of the Etheostoma duryi species group and is interpreted as being the sister species of E. coosae. It differs from E. coosae in having a broad brick-red band rather than a narrow red band in the spinous dorsal fin of nuptial males, in having 5 or 6 branchiostegal rays (typicany 6 in E. coosae), and in having higher vertical scale counts. It differs markedly from E. brevirostrum in snout shape, lack of a red band in the anal fin, and in having 5 or 6 branchiostegal rays (consistently 5 on each side in E. brevirostrum).
