Original Description
Cope described the name in 1880 as Hybognathus flavipinnis. The species is now placed in Dionda. Museum and literature records may therefore use different generic names for the same nominal taxon.
Changing Classification
Some earlier treatments associated this name with Dionda nigrotaeniata. Later studies recognize Dionda flavipinnis as valid. A reference using the older grouping needs to be checked before its distribution, measurements or biological observations are assigned to this species.
Freshwater Context
The current catalog identifies a Texas freshwater species. The Llano River type locality is more specific than that statewide statement, but a type locality alone does not map every occupied stream. Reliable habitat and size records should identify the population and the classification used.
Keep the Date of the Identification
Taxonomic revisions change how older Dionda records are interpreted. Preserve the original name and publication date when linking historical observations.
