Arkansas speci-mens have only been found in the White and OuachitaRiver drainages (Harp and Matthews, 1975; Robison andBuchanan, 1992; Tumlison and Tumlison, 1999). On 13February 1999, one adult specimen of L. appendix (totallength 156 mm) was collected by seine fromJane's Creek, 6km N Ravenden Springs (Sec 19, T20N, R2W), RandolphCounty, Arkansas, a tributary of the Black River drainagesystem. Fowler and Harp (1974) described Jane's Creek as aclear, spring-fed Ozark stream with high alkalinity and dis-solved oxygen, low carbon dioxide, and a constant pH of7.8-8.2. Pflieger (1975) reported one locality of L. appendix inthe Black River system in Missouri. Our identification wasconfirmed by George L. Harp, Arkansas State University,and Henry W. Robison (pers. comm.), Southern ArkansasUniversity, verified this find as a new record for the BlackRiver drainage in Arkansas. The specimen was deposited inthe Arkansas State University Museum of Zoology(ASUMZ 12919). The authors thank Dr. G.L. Harp, whoconfirmed the specimen; Dr. H. W.
