The fan-tailed darter is represented in my collections by one specimen,
obtained in the mainstream of the Neosho River at the lower station in
1957. Records of this species in Kansas are almost confined to the
smallest, clear, permanent streams of the southeastern part of the
state. My specimen may represent a small population that retreated to
the mainstream of the Neosho during drought.
