Euchiloglanis is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia.
There are currently four recognized species in this genus: [1]
Cyprinus is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Most species in the genus are of East Asia origin with only the common carp in Western Asia and Europe; this invasive species has also been introduced to many other regions around the world. Cyprinus are closely related to some more barb-like genera, such as Cyclocheilichthys and Barbonymus (tinfoils). The crucian carps (Carassius) of western Eurasia, which include the goldfish, are apparently not as closely related.
Sisoridae is a family of catfishes. These Asian catfishes live in fast-moving waters and often have adaptations that allow them to adhere to objects in their habitats. The family includes about 235 species.
Glyptothorax is a genus of catfishes order Siluriformes of the family Sisoridae. It is the most species-rich and widely distributed genus in the family with new species being discovered on a regular basis. These species are distributed in the Black Sea basin, northern Turkey, south and east to the Yangtze River drainage in China and south throughout Indo-China to Java, Indonesia. They are found in Asia Minor and southwards to Southeast Asia. The genus is very diverse in the Indian subcontinent. Southeast Asian species tend to have restricted distributions.
Hemibagrus is a genus of catfishes of the family Bagridae.
Leiocassis is a genus of bagrid catfishes found mostly in Southeast Asia with some species occurring in China.
Sinogastromyzon is a genus of hillstream loaches native to eastern Asia.
Pseudecheneis is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia.
Pseudexostoma is a genus of fish in the family Sisoridae endemic to China. These species are restricted to the upper Salween and one upper branch of the Irrawaddy in China. P. brachysoma is known only from the middle and lower Nujiang River. P. yunnanensis is only known from the upper Dayinjiang. These rivers were once connected, but are now separated. Also, the environment and temperature of the Nujiang River became greatly different between the northern and southern areas, leading to speciation.
Pareuchiloglanis is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia. These species are rheophilic catfish chiefly found in the headwaters of major rivers in South and East Asia. They originate from the Brahmaputra drainage in India, east and south to the Yangtze drainage in China and the Annamese Cordillera drainages in southern Vietnam. Two species are known from the Mekong River: P. myzostoma and P. gracilicaudata. Four species are known from the drainage of China: P. abbreviatus, P. gracilicaudata, P. myzostoma and P. prolixdorsalis.
Silurus is a genus of catfishes native to Europe and Asia.
Chimarrichthys kishinouyei is a species of sisorid catfish native to Asia.
Chimarrichthys davidi is a species of sisorid catfish native to Asia.
Balitora is a genus of fish in the family Balitoridae endemic to Asia.
Homatula is a genus of stone loaches endemic to China.
Discogobio is a genus of cyprinid fish that are found in eastern Asia. So far the 16 species have only been identified from China and Vietnam wherein each species is endemic to the country in which it is found.
Tachysurus is a genus of bagrid catfishes found in eastern Asia and as a fossil in Africa. The currently recognized species in this genus are:
Creteuchiloglanis is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia.
Vinagarra is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae endemic to Vietnam.
Chimarrichthys is a genus of fish in the family Sisoridae endemic to China.
Pseudecheneis sulcata, the sucker throat catfish, is a species of sisorid catfish. It is found in India, Nepal and Bangladesh.
