Taxonomic notes. Triplophysa is an artificial assemblage
of species. Among them some species have been grouped in
a few diagnosable lineages and have been named (Hedinichthys,
Qinghaichthys, Labiatophysa, Indotriplophysa,
Tarimichthys) and treated as subgenera of Triplophysa, while
the relationships of the majority are still unresolved. At this
stage, these lineages seem well supported but their interrelationships
are still not established. In such a situation, there
does not seem to be reason or advantage in using a subgeneric
rank, which implies that some relationship has been
worked out. They are therefore treated as distinct, valid genera.

10.42.1 ? Triplophysa akhtari (Vijayalakshmanan, 1950)
Nemachilus akhtari Vijayalakshmanan, 1950: 219, fig. 1
(type locality: Afghanistan: Farakhollum, about 10 miles
south of Gardan Diwar, Helmund River; syntypes [at least
6]: ZSI F 244/2 [1]; noun in genitive, indeclinable)
Taxonomic notes. Treated as a synonym of T. stolickai by
Prokofiev (2007b: 4), which geography suggests should be
re-examined.
Nomenclatural notes. Nemacheilus akhtari was described
on the basis of an unspecified number of specimens; morphometric
data were given for five. No holotype was indicated.
Menon & Yazdani (1968: 121) list only a 'holotype'
(ZSI F 244/2). This specimen is at best a syntype. The fate
of the remaining specimens is not known.
