Holotype: KIZ 2014005967 ♀ 53.8mm SL. Paratypes: PRFRI 20141122, KIZ 2014005968 - KIZ 2014005970 43.6mm - 48.3mm SL
Distribution
Known only from the type locality: A cave in Jicheng Village, Luocheng County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonamous Region, China. 24o47'55.65"N, 108o44'40.27"E.
Habitat
The stream is found 40m from, and 10m below, the cave entrance. The fish is found in pools with a substrate of mud and cobbles. Ther are >20 pools of 5-50m2 and water depth of 1-3m. Triplophysa luochengensis coexists within this cave with four other fish species: Pteorocryptis anomala (Siluridae, probably epigean and accidental), Sinocyclocheilus brevis (Cyprinidae, troglobitic), Troglonectes microphthalmus (Nemachelidae, troglobitic), and Bibarba parvoculus (Cobitidae, troglobitic). This is the only cave known with four coexisting troglobitic spcies of fishes.
Systematics
No published details. A good comparison of subterranean Triplophysa species is provided by Wu et al. (2018).
