  <dc:description>&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;We report a population of Bigeye Shiner &lt;i&gt;Notropis boops&lt;/i&gt; in the South Fork Hughes River drainage of the Little Kanawha River, West Virginia. A total of 27 individuals of &lt;i&gt;N. boops&lt;/i&gt; were collected during five sampling efforts from 1999 to 2005. These specimens represent an addition to the state fauna, a distributional record for the Little Kanawha River, and an eastern range extension for this species on the Appalachian Plateau, West Virginia. &lt;i&gt;Notropis boops&lt;/i&gt; in the South Fork Hughes River drainage likely represents a native population.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
