SWITZER1 & ROBERT M. WOOD2 1U.S. Geological Survey, Leetown Science Center, Aquatic Ecology Branch, 11649 Leetown Road, Kearneysville, WV 25430. E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Biology, Saint Louis University, 3507 Laclede, St. Louis, MO 63103–2010, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of darter, Etheostoma erythrozonum, is described from the Meramec River drainage of Missouri, USA. Etheostoma erythrozonum is the first known fish species endemic to the Meramec River drainage. It differs morphologically and genetically from populations of its sister species, Etheostoma tetrazonum, from the Gasconade River, Osage River, and Moreau River drainages. Key words: darter, Percidae, Etheostoma, Etheostoma erythrozonum, Etheostoma tetrazonum, Meramec River, Missouri, Ozarks Introduction Etheostoma tetrazonum (Hubbs and Black), the Missouri Saddled Darter, is one of several darter species endemic to the northern Ozark region of Missouri. Etheostoma tetrazonum was described as a member of the Etheostoma variatum species group (Hubbs & Black, 1940) and is now classified as a member of subgenus Poecilichthys (Page, 2000). The type locality designated for E. tetrazonum is the Big Niangua River at the mouth of Greasy Creek, a tributary of the Osage River drainage. Specimens of E. tetrazonum were also identified from the Gasconade River system in the description. Both the Osage and Gasconade rivers are tributaries of the Missouri River. At the time of its description, E.
