Sinocyclocheilus albeoguttatus  Zhou and Li 1998

Country

China

Types

Described from a syntype series of six specimens: IHAS 83 III221-222, 84 VII223-226.

Distribution

Caves in Ling-Yun and Leye counties, Guangxi, China (c. 24o45’N, 106o30’E).

Not determined.

Systematics

A member of the subfamily Barbinae and closely related to Sinocyclocheilus jii (based on the number of lateral line pores). Wang and Chen (1998) revised the diagnosis of the genus Sinocyclocheilus. Clade angularis.
