Range and Identity
Etheostoma faulkneri is the retained scientific identity. The original taxonomic study distinguishes it from Etheostoma raneyi. Older records under the broader name need their collection locality before they can be assigned confidently to either modern species account.
Habitat and Behavior
The study describes small perennial streams and local cover associated with wood or hard clay. These observations are specific habitat evidence rather than a claim that every nearby stream is occupied. A general resemblance in coloration does not replace the diagnostic basis of the separation.
Food and Life History
The study reports a male specimen of sixty-four millimeters standard length from Morris Creek. This excludes the tail and is a published specimen reference. It is not assigned as the maximum of the separately treated Yazoo Darter, and no modeled mass is substituted.
Field Note
Preserve original identity, tributary and source treatment with records. This allows earlier observations to remain useful while keeping the distinction between the two darters visible in locality and measurement claims.
