Redeye chub (Notropis harperi) is a species of cyprinid fish native to freshwaters of southeastern North America.[2]

Unlike other members of Notropis, they have a pair of barbels on the corners of their mouths.[3]

Etymology

[edit]

The specific name is in honor of Dr. Francis Harper, who in 1939-40 collected the type specimens during field investigations along the routes of John and William Bartram.[4]
