Eonemachilus is a genus of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. The fishes in this genus are found in China.
Eonemachilus contains the following species: [2]
Balitoridae, the hillstream loaches or river loaches, is a family, of small fish from South, Southeast and East Asia. The family includes about 202 species. They are sometimes sold as "lizardfish" or "flossensaugers". Many of the species are popular for aquaria, species in the genus Sewellia are most commonly sold in the aquaria trade. They have a number of similarities with the Cobitidae, their sibling family of "loaches", such as multiple barbels around the mouth. They should not be confused with the loricariids, which look similar but are a family of catfish.
Acanthocobitis is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish of the stone loach family, Nemacheilidae. Recent work has suggested that the genus be split into two with the former subgenus Paracanthocobitis being raised to a full species, leaving just the type species, Acanthocobitis pavonacea, in the current genus.
Hemimyzon is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Balitoridae, the river or hillstream loaches. The species in this genus are found in eastern Asia.
Yunnanilus niger is a hypogean species of stone loach endemic to China. This species is endemic to the endorheic drainage system which feeds the Datangzi Marsh in Luoping County, Yunnan,
Eonemachilus bajiangensiss is a species of ray-finned fish, a stoneloach, in the genus Eonemachilus. Its type locality is the Bajiang River in Shilin County in Yunnan.
Eonemachilus obtusirostris is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach in the genus Eonemachilus. Its type locality is the West Dragon Spring, which flows into Fuxian Lake in Chengjiang County, Yunnan. In the past this species was classified in the genus Yunnanilus, although it was thought that it may have been in Heminoemacheilus rather than Yunnanilus. The specific name is a compound of the Latin rostrum meaning a "beak" and obtusus meaning "blunt", this refers to the species' short snout.
Acanthocobitis pavonacea, also known as the spearfin loach, is a species of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. This species is found in the Brahmaputra River ofAssam. This is one of two species in the genus Acanthocobitis, alongside the type species, A. longipinnis. A. longipennis was treated as synonym of this species but in 2021 Maurice Kottelat and Waikhom Vishwanath published a paper that argued that A. longipennis was a valid species and that it was one of two species ofloach in the genus Acanthocobitis, alongside A. pavonacea, with the other species being classified in the genus Paracanthocobitis. This species is the type species of the genus Acanthocobitis.
Balitora is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Balitoridae endemic to Asia.
Erromyzon is a genus of fish in the family Gastromyzontidae endemic to China and Vietnam.
Iskandaria is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes beloning to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. The two species in this genus are found in northern Central Asia.
Micronemacheilus is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. The loaches in this genus are found in eastern Asia.
Physoschistura is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found mostly in Southeast Asia.
Serpenticobitis, popularly known as serpent loaches, is a small genus of loaches found in the Mekong River Basin in Southeast Asia. It is the only genus in the family Serpenticobitidae.
The Nemacheilidae, or stone loaches, are a family of cypriniform fishes that inhabit stream environments, mostly in Eurasia, with one genus, Afronemacheilus found in Africa. The family includes about 790 species.
Petruichthys is a genus of stone loaches native to eastern Asia. The genus is not universally accepted as valid and the two species placed there have been placed in other genera.
Pseudohomaloptera is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Balitoridae, the river or hillstream loaches. The species in this genus are found in eastern Asia.
Paracanthocobitis is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. This genus is known from the Indus basin in Pakistan to the Mekong basin of Cambodia and Laos The type species is Paracanthocobitis zonalternans. Some authorities treat this as a subgenus of Acanthocobitis
Acanthocobitis longipinnis is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. This species is known from a single specimen, the holotype, which was collected from the Ganges. This species was first formally described in 1861 by the German naturalist and explorer Wilhelm Peters and Peters proposed the new genus Acanthocobitis. Later authors treated this species as a synonym of Cobitis pavonacea but in 2021 Maurice Kottelat and Waikhom Vishwanath published a paper that argued that A. longipennis was a valid species and that it was one of two species of loach in the genus Acanthocobitis, alongside A. pavonacea, with the other species being classified in the genus Paracanthocobitis. This species is the type species of the genus Acanthocobitis.
Malihkaia is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. The only species in the genus is Malihkaia aligera. This species was foirsy formalled described in 2017 by the Swiss ichthyologist Maurice Kottelat with its type locality given as the Mali Hka River, about 9 km upstream of Kang Mu Lon on the Kachin State of Myanmar at 27°25'54"N, 97°27'56"E from an elevation of 402 m (1,319 ft).
Petruichthys salmonides is a little known species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. It is known only from the holotype which was collected at "Mongpan" in southern Yunnan and described by B. L. Chaudhuri. It has been considered to be a synonym of Yunnanilus pleurotaenia but Yunnanilus fishes have restricted distributions that are disjunct from the given type locality of this species and Chaudhuri's original description does not match any Yunnanilus species. This species has been regarded as a species inquirenda but Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes treats it as a valid recognised species within Petruichthys.
