Colorado rivers. U.S. Senate Exec. Doc. 33rd Congr. (1853).
This paper, which contains the original descriptions of G.
robusta, G. elegans, and several synonyms, based on
specimens supposedly from the Zuni River (NM), probably
actually reports material from the lower Colorado area
(see annotation of Baird and Girard, 1853a, under Taxonomic
References).
