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.
There are currently nine species recognized for this genus: [1] [2]
Chiayusaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur known from teeth found in China and possibly also South Korea. Two species have been named for this obscure genus, though only the type, C. lacustris, is still seen as valid. It was originally named as Chiayüsaurus, but the ICZN does not permit special characters, so the name was corrected to Chiayusaurus. The obsolete name can still be seen in older sources, though. As a sauropod, Chiayusaurus would have been a large, quadrupedal herbivore.
Cobitis is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cobitidae from temperate and subtropical Eurasia. It contains the "typical spiny loaches", including the well-known spined loach of Europe. Similar spiny loaches, occurring generally south of the range of Cobitis, are nowadays separated in Sabanejewia.
Hemimyzon is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Balitoridae.
Oreonectes is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found in the rivers and caves of Asia. Many of these species are troglobitic.
Schistura is a genus of fish in the stone loach family Nemacheilidae native to the streams and rivers of the southern and eastern Asia. Some of these species are troglobitic.
Triplophysa is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found mainly in and around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, as well as inland waters of the larger part of central Asia. They can be distinguished from other genera of Nemacheilidae by marked sexual dimorphism, including the development of nuptial tubercles on breeding males. 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 all but Hedinichthys have been treated as subgenera in Wikipedia, although Kottelat in his revision of the loaches did recognise them as valid. FishBase, however, includes these in Triplophysa without specifying subgenera and treats the names given by Kottelat as synonyms.
Yunnanilus is a genus of small stone loaches that are endemic to southeastern China, especially Guangxi and Yunnan. They are found in rivers, streams and lakes; some species are restricted to caves.
Beaufortia is a genus of gastromyzontid loaches from China and mainland Southeast Asia.
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.
Balitora is a genus of fish in the family Balitoridae endemic to Asia.
Loaches are fish of the superfamily Cobitoidea. 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 Cobitoidea comprise about 107 genera divided among 9 families.
Claea dabryi is a species of stone loach endemic to the Jinshajiang river basin in China. Commonly known as 戴氏南鰍, which translates as Dai's southern loach.
Homatula is a genus of stone loaches endemic to China.
Liniparhomaloptera is a genus of fish in the family Gastromyzontidae found in China and Vietnam.
Paraprotomyzon is a genus of gastromyzontid loaches endemic to China.
Pseudogastromyzon is a genus of gastromyzontid loaches from fast-flowing streams and rivers in China.
Vanmanenia is a genus of loaches from China and mainland Southeast Asia.
Microphysogobio is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae native to East Asia.
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.
Schoenoplectus lacustris, the lakeshore bulrush or common club-rush, is a species of club-rush that grows in fresh water across Europe and some neighbouring areas.
