, reproduced with permission from Buynak and Mohr (1978) and Fuiman (1979, drawings by C. Komar Outlaw). Drawings of adult catostomids in the species accounts were reproduced with permission from drawings by Joseph Tomelleri, many of which were published in Tomelleri and Eberle (1990) and Sigler and Sigler (1996). Michael DaIIwitz (formerly ofCSIRO Division of Entomology, Canberra, Australia) provided copies of DELTA system computer programs and manuals to aid key production, assisted with the initial versions of the computer-interactive key, and provided periodic guidance in the use of Intkey and other DELTA programs. Steve Meismer, Jack Ruppert, Mark Williams, and Kevin Bestgen helped edit the printed keys for the previous edition (Snyder and Muth 1990) of this guide. Sean Seal assisted with preparation of the data set for the computer-interactive key included with this edition, and he, Tasha Sorenson, Koreen Zelasko, and other LFL staff test-used interim and near-final versions of the key. Some sections of text, species-account data, and many illustrations herein were extracted with little or no modification from Snyder (1981, 1983a) or Snyder and Muth (1988). Anita Martinez, Kenneth Tiffan, Maryann Snyder, and Clarence Carlson reviewed draft manuscripts for the previous 1990 edition. A few text errors were identified in a review of that publication by Fuiman (1991) and some errors in the printed keys and likely range extensions for characters in the keys, descriptive comparisons, and species accounts were brought to our attention by various users of the guide. Most corrections or updates incorporated herein are documented in a Recovery Program final report by Snyder (2003). Sean Seal and Maryann Snyder proof-read and Tom Czapla, Steve Meismer, Howard Brandenburg, and members ofUCRP Biology Committee reviewed draft versions of that final report, much of which is incorporated in this guide. Chuck McAda, Steve Platania, and Kevin Bestgen contributed recent information and references on status and distribution of catostomids in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Maryann Snyder and Sean Seal proof-read the manuscript for this CDOW Technical Publication. IX
