Percina

Percina is a genus of small bony fishes of the family Percidae from North America. Like similar Etheostomatinae, they are called "darters". More specifically, the genus as a whole is known as roughbelly darters, while certain species of Percina with a pattern of vertical bars on the flanks are called logperches.
