Restricted Identity
The scientific name is Etheostoma sellare. Records belong to tributaries near the lower Susquehanna in Harford County, rather than Maryland waters generally. A precise creek and collection date are essential when interpreting such a restricted species account.
Historical Habitat
The published habitat description emphasizes fast rocky riffles. These records describe where identified fish were collected. They should not be treated as evidence that the same sites still support a population or that all apparently similar riffles are occupied.
Size and Evidence
The compiled maximum is 8.4 centimeters total length, with a common reference of 5.8 centimeters. These historical size data are distinct from a modern verified observation. A contemporary identification would need strong diagnostic and locality evidence rather than reliance on the general appearance of a small darter.
Keep Historical Dates Visible
An old collection establishes past occurrence, not present occupancy. Preserve the date alongside every Maryland Darter locality record.
