      Five Natural Hybrid Combinations

      in Minnows (Cyprinidae)

      BY

      FRANK B. CROSS AND W. L. MINCKLEY

      The hybrid fishes described herein are Chrosomus erythrogaster (Rafinesque) × Notropis cornutus frontalis (Agassiz), C. erythrogaster × Semotilus atromaculatus (Mitchill), Campostoma anomalum plumbeum (Girard) × S. atromaculatus, Gila nigrescens (Girard) × Rhinichthys cataractae (Valenciennes), and Notropis venustus venustus (Girard) × Notropis whipplei (Girard). Two of the combinations have been reported, without descriptions, in literature (citations below), and Hubbs (1955: Fig. 3) graphically indicated hybridization between the same genera with which this paper is concerned, but did not designate the species involved.

      All specimens of C. erythrogaster × N. c. frontalis, C. erythrogaster × S. atromaculatus, C. a. plumbeum × S. atromaculatus, and N. v. venustus × N. whipplei were taken in a period of severe drought in Kansas and Arkansas. All were from small, spring-fed streams that support large populations of fishes. That the drought of 1953-1956 had pronounced effects on stream habitats in Kansas has been documented by Minckley and Cross (1959). Satisfactory sites for spawning
