There was both congruence and complementarity in the support provided by allozymic and mor- phological datasets. The sister-group relationship and allopatric distributions of £. beanii and £. bifascia are consistent with their origin resulting from vicariant speciation associated with the origin of the Mobile Basin.

INTRODUCTION

The sand darters are slender, translucent elongate, oi within the Etheostoma and suggested darters known for their habit of themselves in burying that Etheostoma (loa) vitreum was the sister group to the substrates. Six of sand darters are sandy species currently subgenus Ammocrypta. This change resulted in four sub- classified in the Etheostoma subgenus Ammocri/pta: genera being included in the Boleosoma group of Etheostoma: E. beanii, E. vivax, E. claruni, E. and £. peUucidum, bifascia, Boleosoma, loa, Vaillantia, and Ammocrypta.
