Since scientific names of species change over time and data sources vary in adherence to standard names, we synonymized Since scientific names of species change over time and data sources vary in adherence to standard names, we synonymized all invalid names to a standard taxonomy. However, researchers have noted the presence of fish populations that appear to be unique and often describe them as a subspecies or a unique form of some sort, but lack formal description or even a name. Usually they are smaller populations and geographically isolated from a larger sister taxa population, but because of that isolation they are on their own evolutionary trajectory and thus different or can become different from the larger population and worth knowing about. To maximize awareness and potential conservation, we aim to recognize these various forms, even before they are formally described as species - some, of course, may never be formally described. Thus we prefer to think of our lowest level taxa names as Operational Taxonomic Units.

Ictalurus sp (Chihuahua Catfish): Identifications to this undescribed species are difficult, but our research supports validity of this species (Hendrickson, 2017). We here recognize determinations from an unpublished manuscript by Julian Humphries and Robert Rush Miller (1998), specifically UMMZ 214590, 203009, 201537, 203240, 161739, 196733, 66188, TNHC 4240, 2037, UANL 1892, 7121, 2153, 5661, ASU 64-0859, FMNH 100478, MSB 3180, 7778, 6395, 6392. Also see Varela Romero, 2020 and Pérez-Rodríguez, R. 2022, which are both relevant to recognition of the species. Effective in version 2.0. Those in bold are records not yet included in the Fishes of Texas database as of version 3.0.
