摘要
During revision of the genus Microphysogobio Mori,1934,we discovered a new species of Huigobio from the Yangtze River Basin in China.The new species,named Huigobio heterocheilus sp.nov.,can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters:medial pad on lower lip not visible;ventral region scaleless before pelvic-fin insertion;lateral-line scales 39-40;caudal peduncle depth 49.2%-59.1%of length;barbel length 6.6%-10.7%of head length;black blotch between anterior margin of eye and upper lip.Using the K2P model and cytochrome b(cyt b)sequences,interspecific genetic distances between the new species and Huigobio exilicauda Jiang&Zhang,2013 and Huigobio chenhsienensis Fang,1938 were 13.2%and 15.1%,respectively.The new species is known from the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River in the middle Yangtze River Basin.A diagnostic key for species of Huigobio Fang,1938 is provided.
