Erromyzon is a genus of fish in the family Gastromyzontidae endemic to China and Vietnam. [2]
There are currently 4 recognized species in this genus: [3]
Cobitidae, also known as the true loaches, is a family of Old World freshwater fish. They occur throughout Eurasia and in Morocco, and inhabit riverine ecosystems. Today, most "loaches" are placed in other families. The family includes about 260 described species. New species are being described regularly.
Lepidocephalichthys is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cobitidae.
Leptobotia is a genus of fish in the family Botiidae endemic to China.
Protocobitis is a genus of loaches endemic to Guangxi in China and living in caves.
Botiidae, the pointface loaches, is a family of cypriniform ray-finned fishes from South, Southeast, and East Asia. Until recently they were placed in the true loach family Cobitidae, until Maurice Kottelat revised the loaches and re-elevated this taxon to family rank in 2012. The family includes about 56 species.
Beaufortia is a genus of gastromyzontid loaches from China and mainland Southeast Asia.
Beaufortia pingi is a species of river loach, belonging to the family Balitoridae or Gastromyzontidae, depending on the source. It is found in China and Vietnam. This species inhabits fast-flowing hill streams and reaches a standard length of up to 5 cm (2.0 in).
Beaufortia polylepis is a species of river loach. It is endemic to the Nanpan River in Yunnan, China. It inhabits rocky streams and measures 3.9–4.8 cm (1.5–1.9 in) standard length.
Gastromyzon ingeri is a species of river loach. It is named for Robert F. Inger. It is endemic to Sabah, Borneo, where it occurs in rivers draining into Wallace Bay. It inhabits fast flowing rocky streams and grows to 5.4 cm (2.1 in) standard length.
Loaches are ray-finned fish of the suborder Cobitoidei. They are freshwater, benthic (bottom-dwelling) fish found in rivers and creeks throughout Eurasia and northern Africa. Loaches are among the most diverse groups of fish; the 1249 known species of Cobitoidei comprise about 107 genera divided among 9 families.
Barbucca is a genus of loaches native to Southeast Asia. It is currently the only genus in its family.
Formosania is a genus of gastromyzontid loaches, most of which are endemic to mainland China. Two species, F. lacustris and F. tengi, are endemic to Taiwan.
Glaniopsis is a small genus of loaches endemic to the island of Borneo.
Vaillantella, the long-fin loaches, is a small genus of loaches found in Southeast Asia. This genus is the only member of the family Vaillantellidae having been confirmed as such by M. Kottelat in his review of the loaches in 2012.
Bibarba is a genus of loach that is found in the Chengjiang River and Hongshuihe River in China.
Koreocobitis is a small genus of loaches endemic to the Korean Peninsula.
The Gastromyzontidae are a family of loaches native to China and Southeast Asia, where typically found in streams and rivers with a fast current. The family includes about 137 species in eighteen genera. This family was resurrected by M. Kottelat in his review and revision of the loaches in 2012. They are commonly called hillstream loaches.
Tarimichthys is a subgenus of stone loach genus Triplophysa native to China which contains two species. Some authorities recognise Tarimichthys as a valid taxon.
Bashimyzon is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Gastromyzontidae, a family which shares the common name hillstream loaches with the Balitoridae. These loaches are found in the Guangxi Province of China.
Labigastromyzon is a genus of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Gastromyzontidae, commonly called the hillstream loaches, although this also refers to the loaches in the family Balitoridae. The loaches in the genus are found in China.
