This species was endemic to Yilong Lake in Yunnan, China. It is believed that it became extinct when Yilong Lake dried up in 1981, as a result of water abstraction for agriculture. The species was not observed in 1983–84, and was declared extinct in 2011.

Anabarilius yangzonensis is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies. This species is is currently critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. A. yangzonensis is endemic to Yangzong Lake of Yunnan, China.
Anabarilius qiluensis s a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies. This species is endemic to Qilu Lake in Yunnan, but the it has not been recorded from that site since the early 1980s. Surveys conducted in 1983-84 failed to find thuis fish. In 1964 alien fish were introduced into the lake and prevented this species from reproducing, leading to its decline.
