I found two of these on the eastern edge of Ohio in Yellow Creek a direct tributary to the Ohio River probably within 10 miles of the Ohio maybe even less. They were both (I assume) spawned out half dead individuals. I kept them and preserved them because of their half dead condition and I plan to send them to the OSU museum when I get around to them. So since I'm busy and don't have time to ID them myself what are these guys?

note: I believe the dorsal is just torn on the one there isn't really a notch in it.

I say Ichthyomyzon castaneus Brian...
I'm just looking quickly though. I'll do a quick myomere count when I get a chance just to be sure I. bdellium is eliminated but I'm still pretty sure thats a I. castaneus
