Remarks: Hobbs & Peters (1977: 2, 55, 59) suggested that H. tertius reported from the Whitewater River

(Savannah Basin) in Hobbs & Walton (1968: 247) and again in Hart & Hart (1974: 99, 228) is likely a synonym of

H. baileyi . Harpagocythere tertius, otherwise known to inhabit the neighboring Santee River Basin of South

Carolina, has not since been recovered from the Whitewater River system. Further, the type locality of H. baileyi is

from a small headwater tributary to the Whitewater River, near to the locality from which H. tertius was reported.

Unfortunately, the specimen that provided the basis for this record has been lost.
