Abstract:

Species of ictalurid catfishes with an adnexed (free) adipose fin have presented identification problems, and consequently may subvert zoogeographic studies. This study examined new and preexisting records of catfishes in Virginia, North Carolina and other eastern states. Diagnostic characters are emphasized for distinguishing various species and their distribution.
