ABSTRACT: Conclusons based on a program of numerical taxonomy utilizing 45 characters measured in 32 species of darters resulted in the transfer of Percina crassa and P. roanoka from the subgenus Ericosma to Alvordius, the reduction of Hypohomus to a monotypic subgenus, and the creation of a ninth subgenus (Odontopholis) to contain P. cymatotaenia and an undescribed species. Diagnoses for all nine subgenera of Percina and a phylogeny of the genus are given.
