Lythrurus
''Lythrurus'', the finescale shiners, is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows. The fishes in this genus are found in North America. Taxonomy ''Lythrurus'' was first proposed as a genus in 1876 by the American ichthyologist David Starr Jordan with ''Semotilus diplemia'' as its type species. ''S. diplemia'' had been formally described in 1820 by the French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. However, ''S. diplemia'' is now regarded as a synonym of '' Chrosomus erythrogaster'' and in 1884 Jordan proposed ''Notropis lythrurus'' as the type species, this taxon is a synonym of ''Notropis umbratilis''. If ''S. diplemia'' is the type species then ''Lythrurus'' is a synonym of '' Chrosomus'' and if this taxon is a valid genus then a new name is needed for this taxon. This genus is classified within the subfamily Pogonichthyinae of the family Leuciscidae. Species ''Lythrurus'' contains teh following valid spec ...

Lythrurus Fasciolaris
The scarlet shiner (''Lythrurus fasciolaris'') is a freshwater fish native to the eastern United States.

The dorsal fin often has a dark blotch at the front of its base. Females and non-breeding males tend to display less distinct coloration on their bodies besides faint red on their fins. An adult's average length is , with a maximum of .Scarlet Shiner. ODNR Division of Wildlife: A to Z Species Guide.
