Common Name: clear chub
Synonyms and Other Names: Notropis winchelli
Taxonomy: available through 
Identification: Page and Burr (1991); Mettee et al. (1996).
Native Range: From the Perdido River in Alabama and Florida to the Apalachicola basin of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia (Clemmer 1970; Gilbert 1998).
Nonindigenous Occurrences: Swift et al. (1977) reported two collections, of what was tentatively referred to as Hybopsis amblops, from the Ochlockonee drainage in Florida in 1967 (voucher specimens, UF 65225). These fish are now considered to represent a new species, one closely allied to Hybopsis winchelli (=Notropis winchelli). The Ochlockonee specimens of this undescribed species are most likely the result of introduction. Support for this conclusion, as stated by Swift et al. (1977), is based on the "recent vintage of these collections and the fact that extensive previous collecting by many investigators did not disclose the species..."
Means of Introduction: Possible bait bucket release.
Status: Reported in Florida outside of its native range.
Impact of Introduction: Unknown.
Remarks: This species is yet undescribed. It is believed that the fish east of the Mobile drainage are a different species from H. winchelli (Lee et al. 1980).
