Pogonichthyinae is a subfamily of the freshwater fish family Leuciscidae, which contains the true minnows. Members of this family are known as American minnows or the North American (NA) clade of minnows. As the name suggests, all members of this family are found in North America (although they are not the only minnows native to North America, as Plagopterinae, Laviniinae, and Leuciscinae are also found there). Genera Pogonichthyinae contains the following genera; * ''Agosia'' Charles Frédéric Girard, Girard, 1856 (Longfin dace) * ''Alburnops'' Girard, 1856 * ''Algansea'' Girard, 1856 (Mexican chubs) * ''Aztecula'' David Starr Jordan, D.

Glenns Ferry Formation
The Glenns Ferry Formation is a Pliocene stratigraphic unit in the western United States. Outcrops of the formation in Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument preserve the remains of seven fish species, five of which are extinct. These include the teleosteans '' Mylopharodon hagermanensis'', '' Sigmopharyngodon idahoensis'', and '' Ptychocheilus oregonensis'', '' Ameirurus vespertinus'', and the sunfish '' Archoplites taylori''. A nearly complete skull of the catfish '' Ameirurus vespertinus'' was recovered in 2001 from the wall of the Smithsonian Horse Quarry. The formation was deposited by Lake Idaho.

Pliocene
The Pliocene ( ; also Pleiocene) is the epoch (geology), epoch in the geologic time scale that extends from 5.33 to 2.58See the 2014 version of the ICS geologic time scale million years ago (Ma). It is the second and most recent epoch of the Neogene Period in the Cenozoic, Cenozoic Era. The Pliocene follows the Miocene Epoch and is followed by the Pleistocene Epoch. Prior to the 2009 revision of the geologic time scale, which placed the four most recent major glaciations entirely within the Pleistocene, the Pliocene also included the Gelasian Stage, which lasted from 2.59 to 1.81 Ma, and is now included in the Pleistocene. As with other older geologic periods, the Stratum, geological strata that define the start and end are well-identified but the exact dates of the start a ...

Richardsonius Egregius
The Lahontan redside (''Richardsonius egregius'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows. This fish occurs in the Great Basin in eastern California and western Nevada. Lahontan redsides are noted for their breeding colors, consisting of a bright red stripe with a yellow border on each side. At other times, the stripe is still visible, but the red is much reduced, leaving a gradual transition from the olive-colored back to silvery underside. Overall shape is slender, with a large eye and terminal mouth. The dorsal fin has 7–8 rays, while the anal fin has 8–10 rays. The pectoral fins are somewhat long, the tips reaching nearly to the bases of the pelvic fins. The tail is deeply forked. Total length ranges up to 17 cm, but an 8 cm length is more typical of mature adults. They are found in a variety of habitats within their range, primarily feeding on small invertebrates. Stream populations shoal ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Charles Frédéric Girard
Charles Frédéric Girard (; 8 March 1822 – 29 January 1895) was a French biologist specializing in ichthyology and herpetology. Biography Girard was born on 8 March 1822 in Mulhouse, France. He studied at the College of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, as a student of Louis Agassiz. In 1847, he accompanied Agassiz as his assistant to Harvard University. Three years later, Spencer Fullerton Baird called him to the Smithsonian Institution to work on its growing collection of North American reptiles, amphibians and fishes. He worked at the museum for the next ten years and published numerous papers, many in collaboration with Baird. In 1854, he was naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Besides his work at the Smithsonian, he managed to earn an M.D. from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. in 1856. In 1859 he returned to France and was awarded the Cuvier Prize by the Institute of France for his work on the North American reptiles and fishes two years later. When the American Civil Wa ...
