Abstract:
Homatula dotui, new species, is described from a cave in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Central Vietnam.
This troglobitic loach is the first species of Homatula found in Vietnam and the first subterranean species of the
genus. It differs from all congeners by a whitish or pinkish body in life, no scales, incomplete lateral line with
4-5 pores, reduced eyes, and the number of dorsal-fin rays and vertebrae.
