Etheostoma duryi, the black darter, is a species of darter endemic to the eastern United States , where it occurs in the drainage of the Tennessee River in the states of Tennessee , Georgia, and Alabama. It is an inhabitant of rocky pools in streams and smaller rivers and their adjacent riffles. This species can reach a length of 7.2 cm (2.8 in), though most only reach about 5 cm (2.0 in). The specific epithet honors Charles Dury (1847-1931), who collected the original type specimens.[2]
