Four new hypogean species of the genus Triplophysa (Osteichthyes, Cypriniformes, Nemacheilidae) from Guizhou Province, Southwest China, based on molecular and morphological data.

Project description:Recently described cave species of the genus Triplophysa have been discovered in southwestern China, suggesting that the diversity of the genus is severely underestimated and that there may be many undescribed species. In this work, four new species of the genus Triplophysa are described from southwestern Guizhou Province, China, namely Triplophysacehengensis Luo, Mao, Zhao, Xiao & Zhou, sp. nov. and Triplophysarongduensis Mao, Zhao, Yu, Xiao & Zhou, sp. nov. from Rongdu Town, Ceheng County, Guizhou, Triplophysapanzhouensis Yu, Luo, Lan, Xiao & Zhou, sp. nov. from Hongguo Town, Panzhou City, Guizhou, and Triplophysaanlongensis Song, Luo, Lan, Zhao, Xiao & Zhou, sp. nov. from Xinglong Town, Anlong County, Guizhou. These four new species can be distinguished from all recognized congeners by a combination of morphological characteristics and significant genetic divergences. The discovery of these species increases the number of known cave species within the genus Triplophysa to 39, making the genus the second most diverse group of cave fishes in China after the golden-line fish genus Sinocyclocheilus. Based on the non-monophyletic relationships of the different watershed systems in the phylogenetic tree, this study also discusses the use of cave species of the genus Triplophysa to determine the possible historical connectivity of river systems.

Yunnanilus chuanheensis, a new loach species (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) from the upper Lixianjiang River in Yunnan, China.

Project description:A new loach species (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae: Yunnanilini), Yunnanilus chuanheensis sp. nov., was caught from Chuanhe in the upper reaches of the Lixianjiang River, a tributary of the Red River in Nanjian County, Yunnan Province, China. This species is a member of the traditional Y. pleurotaenia species group based on the presence of a lateral line and cephalic lateral-line canals. It can be distinguished from other species in the Y. pleurotaenia species group by the following characters: lips without papillae, anterior and posterior nostrils separated, whole body scaled, eye diameter smaller than interorbital width, outer gill raker absent on first gill arch, eye diameter greater than 18% of head length, 10-11 inner gill rakers on first gill arch, and lateral line not extending to vertical through dorsal fin insertion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Yunnanilus species recorded from the Red River drainage.

Phylogeographical and Morphological Analyses of Triplophysa stenura (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) from the Three Parallel Rivers Region, China.

Project description:Qiu Ren, Jun-Xing Yang, and Xiao-Yong Chen (2018) Triplophysa stenura is an indigenous and widely distributed loach in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau and adjacent Three Parallel Rivers region of China. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses were performed in order to explore the genetic and morphological variation in T. stenura populations from different geographic regions and infer the divergence time and relationships between populations from the three rivers (Jinsha River, Nu River and Lancang River). Two mitochondrial genes (Cyt b, D-Loop) and 35 morphological characters were selected for genetic and morphological analyses, respectively. Phylogenetic and network analyses reveal that T. stenura is a single lineage with three well supported clades strictly corresponding to specific river systems. Divergence time analysis suggests that the divergence of T. stenura and formation of the Three Parallel Rivers are closely associated with the Kun-Huang Movement (1.1- 0.6 MYA), which lead to the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. AMOVA reveals that there is moderate genetic differentiation among populations. Results from ANOVA suggest that several morphological characters show significant variation among populations and drainages. Descriptive morphological variation (e.g., color pattern) in different populations of T. stenura clarifies a set of characters that can be used to accurately identify members of this group in the future. We conclude that T. stenura has moderate population genetic structure and character variation in this study area and the divergence and evolution of T. stenura is associated with the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

Oreonectesdamingshanensis (Cypriniformes, Nemacheilidae), a new species of stream fish from Guangxi, Southwest China.

Project description:In this work, a new species of the genus Oreonectes is described, named Oreonectesdamingshanensis Yu, Luo, Lan, Xiao & Zhou, sp. nov., collected from the Damingshan Mountains of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Phylogenetic trees constructed based on the mitochondrial Cyt b showed that the new species represents an independent evolutionary lineage, with uncorrected genetic distances (p-distance) from congeners ranging from 6.1% to 8.9%. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from five other species of the genus by a combination of characters. The discovery of this new species raises the number of known species of Oreonectes from five to six. Our study suggests that O.platycephalus may be a complex containing multiple species and that previously recorded areas need to be further delimited and reevaluated.

Triplophysa wulongensis, a new species of cave-dwelling loach (Teleostei, Nemacheilidae) from Chongqing, Southwest China.

Project description:We describe a new species of cave-dwelling loach, Triplophysa wulongensis sp. nov., based on specimens collected in a subterranean pool in a cave in Wulong County, Chongqing, Southwest China. The pool is connected to the Wujiang River drainage. Triplophysa wulongensis differs from its congeners by the following combination of characters: eyes present, caudal fin with 18 branched rays; posterior chamber of the air bladder degenerate; stomach U-shaped; intestine without bends or loops immediately posterior to stomach; body smooth and scaleless, and lateral line complete. The mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence differs from those of other published sequences of species of Triplophysa by 14.9-24.9% in K2P distance. Phylogenetic analysis based on cytochrome b gene sequences recovered T. wulongensis as sister taxon to all other cave-dwelling species of Triplophysa.

A new loach species of the genus Oreonectes (Teleostei, Cypriniformes, Nemacheilidae) from Guangxi, China.

Project description:A new loach species, Oreonectesandongensissp. nov. is described from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The new species can be differentiated from other members of the genus by combinations of characters: a developed posterior chamber of the swim bladder, 13-14 branched caudal-fin rays, 8-16 lateral-line pores, body width 12-15% of standard length (SL), interorbital width 42-47% of head length (HL), and caudal peduncle length 11-16% of SL. Bayesian inference phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial Cyt b provided strong support for validity of O.andongensissp. nov. (uncorrected p-distance 6.0-7.5%).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Triplophysa nanpanjiangensis Zhu and Cao 1988 (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae).

Project description:The genus Triplophysa is an ideal taxon for understanding geological evolution. In this study, for the first time, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of T. nanpanjiangensis Zhu and Cao 1988 using the Nanopore sequencing. It is a circular genome with a length of 16558 bp, comprising 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, and one non-coding control region. The phylogenetic tree demonstrates that T. nanpanjiangensis is sister to Triplophysa zhenfengensis and placed within the genus Triplophysa. Our mitogenomic studies provide a new pathway for understanding the molecular phylogeny of the genus Triplophysa.

A New Species of Microphysogobio (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) from Guangxi Province, Southern China.

Project description:Shih-Pin Huang, Yahui Zhao, I-Shiung Chen, and Kwang-Tsao Shao (2017) Microphysogobio zhangi n. sp., a new cyprinid species is described from Guangxi Province, China. Morphological and molecular evidence based on mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome b (Cyt b) sequence were used for comparing this new species and other related species. The phylogenetic tree topology revealed that this new species is closely related to M. elongatus and M. fukiensis. We also observed the existence of a peculiar trans-river gene ow in the Pearl River and the Yangtze River populations, and speculated that it was caused by an ancient arti cial canal, the Lingqu Canal, which forming a pathway directly connecting these two rivers.
