Etymology: Percina: Latin, diminutive of perch = perch (Ref. 45335); antesella: antesella meaning anterior saddle, referring to the diagnostic position of that saddle (Ref. 10294).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Temperate; 36°N - 34°N
North America: Conasauga and Etowah rivers (in Coosa River system) in southeastern Tennessee and northern Georgia, USA.
