Bluntnose darter The generic name "Etheostoma" dereives from Greek etheo, ”to strain”, and stoma, “mouth”. The specific name "chlorosomum" is Greek for “greenish-yellow”.
Bluntnose darter In specimens found in Tennessee, the bluntnose darter's diet was made up of aquatic insects such as caddisfly larvae, dytiscid beetles, and midge larvae.
Bluntnose stingray Including the extended period of diapause, the gestation period lasts around 11–12 months, with 1–6 young being born in mid to late May. In 1941, in a shallow channel between Chincoteague Island and Cape Charles, Virginia, several large bluntnose stingrays were observed repeatedly breaking the surface and swimming rapidly in straight lines, some with their tails thrashing in the air; others were seen rising slowly to the surface and "hanging" for several minutes. One of the rays was hooked and the shock of capture caused it to release five near-term fetuses, suggesting that this activity may have been related to parturition. The aborted young were pale with small yolk sacs, and a swelling in the place of their tail spines. Females begin ovulating a new batch of eggs immediately after giving birth, indicating that they have an annual reproductive cycle. Newborn rays measure across and weigh . Males mature sexually at disc width of and a weight of , while females mature at a disc width of and a weight of .
Bluntnose darter During breeding, males take on a darker or dusky breeding coloration, induced by melanophores unevenly distributed throughout the fins, and on the underside of the body. Breeding tubercles develop on the pelvic and anal fins. Females develop a large, spatulate genital papillae.
Bluntnose stingray The whip-like tail measures over one and a half times as long as the disc and bears one or two long, serrated stinging spines on top, about a quarter of the tail length back from the base. The second spine, if present, is a replacement that periodically grows in front of the existing spine. Behind the spine, there are well-developed upper and lower fin folds, with the lower fold longer and wider than the upper. Small thorns or tubercles are found in a midline row from behind the eyes to the base of the tail spine, increasing in number with age. Adults also have prickles before and behind the eyes and on the outer parts of the disc. The dorsal coloration is grayish, reddish, or greenish brown; some individuals also possess bluish spots, are darker towards the sides and rear, or have a thin white disc margin. The ventral surface is whitish, sometimes with a dark disc margin or dark blotches. A record off French Guyana gives the maximum disc width of this species as , but that specimen may have been misidentified and other sources give a maximum disc width of no more than . Females grow larger than males.
