A review of the cyprinoid fish genus Barbodes Bleeker, 1859, from Yunnan, China, with descriptions of two new species

Fishes of the genus Barbodes in Yunnan have been reviewed and 2 new species are described on the basis of specimens deposited in Kunming institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Counts and measurements follow Chu and Chen (1989). Barbodes heterostomus is distinguished by its terminal mouth, with gape being horizontal in the male, and acclivitous in the female, last unbranched dorsal ray smooth with upper 1/3 articulated; dorsal fin origin anterior to pelvic fin origin; no dark lateral band on sides of body; gill rakers 13-19; lateral line scales 24-29; longest caudal ray length about 2 times that of shortest. It is distributed in Longchuanjiang and Dayingjiang (upper Irrawaddy). Barbodes baoshanensis is distinguished by its smooth last unbranched dorsal ray with upper 1/3-1/2 articulated; dorsal fin origin anterior to pelvic fin origin; sides of body with a dark longitudinal band; gill rakers 13-14; lateral line scales 23-28. It occurs in Nujiang (upper Salween) and Longchuanjiang. A key to the species of Barbodes in Yunnan is provided.

A new species of the genus Tor from Yunnan, China (Teleostei : Cyprinidae)

A new species of the subfamily Barbinae, Tor yingjiangensis, is recognized from Yunnan province, China. It can be distinguished from other Tor species by the following combination of characters: last simple dorsal-fin ray osseous and non-serrated; no forward directed predorsal procumbent spine; head length considerably longer than body depth; no tubercles on the snout or sides of the face; 18-20 gill rakers on the outside of first gill arch; 24-26 lateral line scales; median lobe of lower lip short, its posterior margin truncate, not extending to the vertical across the inner corners of the mouth; and the condition of the lower lip consistent in individuals of different sizes. The new species has been misidentified previously as Tor putitora (Hamilton, F. 1822. An account of the fishes found in the River Ganges and its Branches. Edinburgh & London. 405 pp), which occurs in the Ganges and Indus River basins. The new species can easily be distinguished from T. putitora by having 3-3.5 (vs. 2.5) scales from lateral line to pelvic-fin origin, shorter caudal peduncle length (13.0% vs. 17.2% of standard length), lesser body depth (26.4% vs. 24.0% of standard length) and longer caudal peduncle depth (12.0% vs. 10.9% of standard length), no longitudinal stripe present along side of body, and eyes visible in ventral view of head.

A new species of hillstream loach genus Balitora Gray is discovered from Nanting River drainage, which drains to Salween, Yongde County, Yunnan, China. Balitora nantingensis can be distinguished from B. lancangjiangensis by a triangle-like blotch in nape absent vs. present; area from halfway of pelvicfin ray to anus covered by scales vs. no scales in this area; the first pectoral ray thickened vs. not; posterior end of pelvic-fin surpasses middle point from posterior end of pelvic-fin base to anal-fin origin vs. the end from posterior extremity of pelvic-fins to anus; fewer lateral line scales, 59-64 vs. 66-70; slightly longer head, SL 4.2-5.1 (4.6) times of HL vs. 5.0-5.9 (5.4); slightly larger eyes, HL 4.0-6.4 (5. 1) times of eye diameter vs. 5.5-7.5 (6.3). Balitora nantingensis can be distinguished from B. burmanica by body rounded vs. slender in dorsal view; pointed snout vs. blunt in dorsal view; a deeper body, body depth 12.5-16.9% of SL vs. 10-12%; a deeper caudal-peduncle, length of caudal-peduncle 2.0-2.8 times of its depth vs. 3.0-4.2; a shorter caudal-peduncle, 14.3-15.6% of SL vs. 16-21%; the average ratio of body width at pelvic-fin origin and distance between inner pelvic-fin base 2.0 vs. 3.4; body width 1.1-1.5 times of body depth vs. 1.5-1.6; posterior end of pelvic-fin almost one or slight more than one eye diameter from anus vs. closet to anus; outside rays of pelvic-fin extend more posteriorly than inside rays and make posterior outline of fin acclivitous and straight vs. the outside ones almost equal to the inside ones and make the fin slightly convex.

Schistura cryptofasciata, a new loach (Cypriniformes : Balitoridae) from Salween drainage in Yunnan, Southwestern China

Schistura cryptofasciata is distinguished from its congeners by following combination characters: lateral line complete; 8(1)/(2) branched dorsal-fin rays; 9+8 branched caudal-fin rays; no sexual dimorphism; 8-11 indistinct bars, wider than interspaces; caudal-peduncle length 44.1-16.5% standard length, 68.1-90.4% dorsal head length; anterior portion of body scaleless; air bladder entirely embedded in bony capsule; lateral head length 104-122% dorsal head length; lower jaw with a notch at symphysis; lower lip completely interrupted; interorbital width 1.9-2.2 times eye diameter; pelvic-fin origin ventral to dorsal-fin origin; anus 1.0-1.5 eye diameters in front of anal-fin origin; the widest part of black basal caudal bar is the midlateral, and then the upper and lower ends.

Paracobitis nanpanjiangensis, a new loach (Balitoridae: Nemacheilinae) from Yunnan, China

A new species of the genus Paracobitis, Paracobitis nanpanjiangensis is described from tributaries of the Nanpanjiang River drainage in China.
