Labiatophysa is a subgenus of stone loach genus Triplophysa native to central Asia. It is regarded by some authorities as a vaild genus in its own right. [1]
In biology, a subgenus is a taxonomic rank directly below genus.
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 630 species.
Triplophysa is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found mainly in and around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. Currently, the genus is a mixed assemblage of species. Some lineages have been identified and treated as subgenera, but as Wikipedia follows Fishbase for fish species these have been treated as subgenera in Wikipedia, although Kottelat and the Catalog of Fishes treat them as genera. FishBase, however, includes these in Triplophysa without specifying subgenera and treats the names given by Kottelat as synonyms.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Triplophysa herzensteini is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa , it is placed in the subgenus Labiatophysa which is regarded by some authorities a valid genus.
Lev Semyonovich Berg was a leading Russian geographer, biologist and ichthyologist who served as President of the Soviet Geographical Society between 1940 and 1950.
Triplophysa microphthalma is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa, it is placed in the subgenus Labiatophysa which is regarded by some authorities as a valid genus.
In zoological nomenclature, a type species is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups called a type genus.
The Plasmodiidae are a family of apicomplexan parasites, including the type genus Plasmodium, which is responsible for malaria. This family was erected in 1903 by Mesnil and is one of the four families in the order Haemospororida.
The Haemosporida are an order of intraerythrocytic parasitic alveolates.
Triplophysa alticeps is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa, although these stone loaches are placed in the genus Qinghaichthys by some authorities. It is endemic to Qinghaihu Lake in Qinghai Province, China.
Triplophysa bombifrons is a species of ray-finned fish, a {{Nemacheilidae|stoneloach]] in the genus Triplophysa. Some authorities classify it in the separate genus or subgenus Tarimichthys. It is endemic to the Tarim River in Xinjiang.
Triplophysa intermedia is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa. The species has only been found in Hulun Lake in Inner Mongolia, China; but is believed to appear in other locations as well since fish in this genus are typically found in running water.
Triplophysa leptosoma is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is found only in Xizang, China.
Triplophysa microphysa is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa.
Triplophysa scleroptera is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa.
The Tibetan stone loach is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Nemacheilidae. The specific name is sometimes spelled stoliczkae but the original spelling used by Steindachner is stoličkai. It is found in southern and central Asia.
Triplophysa tenuicauda is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa.
Ponticola is a genus of gobies native mostly to fresh waters of the Black Sea - Caspian Sea region in Eurasia. Some species occur in the brackish-water Black and Caspian seas themselves. It was considered to be part of the broader goby subfamily Benthophilinae, also endemic to the same region, although the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not list any subfamilies in the Gobiidae. Originally, Ponticola was described as subgenus of Neogobius.
Hedinichthys is a subgenus of the stone loach genus Triplophysa endemic to China. It is regarded by some authorities as a valid genus in its own right.
Indotriplophysa is a subgenus of the stone loach genus Triplophysa native to central Asia. It is regarded by some authorities as a valid genus in its own right.
Qinghaichthys is a genus of stone loaches native to China. The genus is not recognised by Fishbase who place the species Kottelat included Qinghaichthys in Triplophysa.
Tarimichthys is a subgenus of stone loach genus Triplophysa native to China which contains two species. Some authorities recognise Tarimichthys as a valid taxon.
