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.
Micronemacheilus contains the following valid species: [2]
Indoreonectes is a genus of stone loaches native to the Western Ghats in India.
Oreonectes is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found in the rivers and caves of Asia. Many of these species are troglobitic.
Protocobitis is a genus of loaches endemic to Guangxi in China and living in caves.
Micronemacheilus longibarbatus is a species of stone loach. It is endemic to the Hongshui River basin in Guangxi, southern China. It grows to 5.8 cm (2.3 in) SL.
Micronemacheilus pulcherrimus is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Micronemacheilus. It is found in the Hongshuihe River, part of the Xijiang River basin in China, with the type locality in Du'an County, Guangxi. The specific name pulcherrimus means most beautiful and is a reference to the “unique” banded color pattern ofthin vertical stripes crossing a wide lateral band, when compared to related species.
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.
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.
Homatula is a genus of stone loaches endemic to China.
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.
Metahomaloptera is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Balitoridae, the loaches in this family are commonly known as hillstream loaches although this name also refers to the loaches in the family Gastromyzontidae. These loaches are endemic to China.
Pseudogastromyzon 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 this genus are found in fast-flowing streams and rivers in China.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Karstinnectes is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nemacheilidae, the stone loaches. The fishes in this genus are cavefish found in China.
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).
