Ancherythroculter is a genus of cyprinid fishes that occur in eastern Asia in China and Vietnam. There are currently five recognized species in this genus, though the validity of A. lini is under some doubt.
There are currently five recognized species in this genus: [1]
Characidae, the characids or characins is a family of freshwater subtropical and tropical fish, belonging to the order Characiformes. The name "characins" is the historical one, but scientists today tend to prefer "characids" to reflect their status as a by and large monophyletic group at family rank. To arrive there, this family has undergone much systematic and taxonomic change. Among those fishes that remain in the Characidae for the time being are the tetras, comprising the very similar genera Hemigrammus and Hyphessobrycon, as well as a few related forms such as the cave and neon tetras. Fish of this family are important as food and also include popular aquarium fish species.
Cyprinus is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Most species in the genus are of East Asia origin with only the common carp in Western Asia and Europe; this invasive species has also been introduced to many other regions around the world. Cyprinus are closely related to some more barb-like genera, such as Cyclocheilichthys and Barbonymus (tinfoils). The crucian carps (Carassius) of western Eurasia, which include the goldfish, are apparently not as closely related.
Hypomesus is a genus of smelts (Osmeridae), consisting of five species found in the northern hemisphere.
Macrognathus is a genus of eel-like fish of the family Mastacembelidae of the order Synbranchiformes.
Garra is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. These fish are one example of the "log suckers", sucker-mouthed barbs and other cyprinids commonly kept in aquaria to keep down algae. The doctor fish of Anatolia and the Middle East belongs in this genus. The majority of the more than 140 species of garras are native to Asia, but about one-fifth of the species are from Africa.
Onychostoma is a genus of cyprinid fish found in eastern Asia.
Ilyodon is a genus of splitfins found in the Pacific slope river basins of Balsas, Tuxpan (Coahuayana), Purificación, Chacala (Marabasco), Armería and Ameca in western Mexico.
Zaniolepis is a genus of scorpaeniform fish native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. Z. frenata is known to have been a source of food to the Native American inhabitants of San Nicolas Island off the coast of southern California, United States during the Middle Holocene.
Aphyocypris is a genus of cyprinid fishes consisting of eight species, all of which are restricted to East Asia.
Osteochilus is a genus of cyprinid fishes mainly found in Southeast Asia with a few extending into adjacent parts of China. Additionally, two species are endemic to the Western Ghats in India.
Semiplotus is a genus of cyprinid fishes found in south Asia.
Daovantien’s limestone rat is a genus of Muridae rodent native to northeastern Vietnam. It was first discovered in a forested talus habitat in the Huu Lien Nature Reserve, Lang Son Province. It is the only known species in the genus Tonkinomys.
Artedius is a genus of sculpins native to the Pacific Ocean. Identified by Charles Frédéric Girard in 1856, it was named after Peter Artedi, a fellow naturalist.
Cociella is a genus of flatheads native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Ancherythroculter daovantieni is a species of cyprinid in the genus Ancherythroculter, described in 1967. It is native to Vietnam.
Ancherythroculter kurematsui is a species of cyprinid in the genus Ancherythroculter. It is native to the Yangtze in China, and was described in 1934.
Ancherythroculter lini is a species of cyprinid in the genus Ancherythroculter. It is native to the Zhujiang River in China and was described in 1994.
Ancherythroculter nigrocauda is a species of cyprinid in the genus Ancherythroculter, native to China.
Ancherythroculter wangi is a species of cyprinid in the genus Ancherythroculter. It lives in the upper Changjiang River in China.
Onychostoma lini is a species of cyprinid in the genus Onychostoma. It inhabits China and Hong Kong and has a maximum length of 25.3 centimetres (10.0 in).
