Range and Identity
The inventory retains Notropis alborus, while the checked classification uses Miniellus alborus. Records span Atlantic slope drainages from the Chowan in Virginia toward the Santee in South Carolina. These named drainages do not imply occupancy of every intervening waterbody.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults use sandy and rocky pools or runs in headwaters, creeks and small rivers. The bottom and occupied position provide useful detail beyond a general stream label. A pool record is not necessarily evidence of still water throughout the surrounding reach.
Food and Life History
The upper reference is six centimeters total length. The short summary does not establish an independent maximum mass, complete feeding list or definite migration pattern. These particulars should come from identified observations rather than from another small shiner with a similar appearance.
Field Note
Keep both historical and updated genus treatments connected to the same original record. A naming change should not create a duplicate fish or silently transfer measurements from a different species.
