Range and Identity
The retained inventory name is Notropis procne. Its compiled distribution includes Atlantic drainages from the Delaware and Susquehanna toward the Santee, plus Lake Ontario drainage records in New York. The alternative genus name should accompany older records without changing their original identity.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults use pools and runs in creeks and rivers of several sizes. Sand is characteristic, while rocky settings are also reported. A small headwater and a large river can both provide suitable recorded habitat, but their precise collection positions still matter.
Food and Life History
The maximum reference is 7.2 centimeters total length; 4.5 centimeters is listed as common. The checked summary does not establish a detailed diet, independent maximum mass or a definite migration pattern. These particulars are not inferred from the common name.
Field Note
Retain both scientific-name forms when comparing records. A genus revision can change a label without making two observations of the same identified fish separate species records.
