The Tombigbee darter (Etheostoma lachneri) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the eastern United States , where it occurs in the Tombigbee River system in northeastern Mississippi and Alabama. It inhabits sand- and rock-bottomed pools of headwaters, creeks, and small rivers, and small streams with mixed sand-gravel substrate, and creeks with mixed sand, gravel, and hard clay or bedrock substrate.[2] The Tombigbee darter was first formally described in 1994 by Royal Dallas Suttkus and Reeve Maclaren Bailey with the type locality given as Wolf Creek, a tributary to the Little Souwilpa Creek near Alabama State Route 17 in Choctaw County, Alabama.[3]
Etymology
The specific name honors the United States ichthyologist Ernest A. Lachner (1915-1996).[4]
