10.42.6 Triplophysa angeli (Fang, 1941)
Nemacheilus Angeli Fang, 1941: 256 (type locality: China:
western Sse-chuan [Sichuan] [probably Pingwu County:
Long'an; on Fu Jiang river, Jialing Jiang system, Yangtze
drainage; 32°24'31"N 104°31'36"E; see below]; holotype:
MNHN 6287, Bertin & Estève, 1948: 97, fig. 3; noun in
genitive, indeclinable)
Taxonomic notes. Herzenstein (1888: 21), Rendahl (1933:
46) and Prokofiev (2003a: 703) discussed ZISP 4471 received
from MNHN as N. nudus from Sichuan. Fang (1941:
253) explained that this specimen had been taken from a jar
labelled "Nemacheilus nudus Blkr.; Sse-chuan Occid.;
R. P. A. David, 1870–58". The remaining 11 specimens from
this jar (MNHN 6287) are the types of Nemacheilus angeli.
In Sichuan, David visited Chengdu, then travelled to Muping.
Muping is now in Western Sichuan, but at David's time
it was an independant princedom and David's map shows it
in Tibet (see Oreias dabryi). After returning to Chengdu,
David wanted to visit Kokonoor [now China: Qinghai]. He
reached to Lon-gan [Sichuan: Pingwu County; also as Lunyan,
Lung-yan, Lungan; 32°24'31"N 104°31'36"E], explored
that area, returned to Chengdu and Shanghai (David, 1871:
97). This makes Pingwu the most likely type locality for
N. angeli. Unfortunately, David did not published a detailed
account of this part of his second travel. His map (1875)
shows that he made a number of small trips around Pingwu.

10.42.8 Triplophysa aquaecaeruleae Prokofiev, 2001
Triplophysa aquaecaeruleae Prokofiev, 2001a: 195, fig. 7
[not fig. 1] (type locality: China: Qinghai: Ba-tshu River
(? Ba Qu), a tributary of Blue River (Changjiang
[Yangtze]) (near Yushu, 33°N 92°E) [Yushu town, Gyêgu
Prefecture, 33°00'11"N 97°00'36"E; Jerku on Kozlov's
1902a map]; holotype: ZISP 12494, He et al., 2008: 48,
fig. 5b; noun in genitive, indeclinable)
Taxonomic notes. The coordinates for the type locality
(Yushu) are given in the original description as about 33°N
92°E. This seems erroneous since this is not within the area
visited by Kozlov (the collector) in 1900 (maps in Kozlov,
1948). There is Yushu in Gyêgu Prefecture, Qinghai, at
33°00'11"N 97°00'36"E. The 'Ba Tschu' of Kozlov's (1948)
map of Kam enters a Gou-tschou [? difficult to decipher on
map] at about 32°52'33"N 97°04'15"E, based on Google
Earth images.

Triplophysa longchiensis Xu & Wang, 2009: 384 (name apparently
erroneously used instead of T. bashanensis Xu

a simultaneous objective synonym; as first reviser I
give precedence to T. bashanensis; adjective, -is, -is, -e)

1963)
Nemachilus bellibarus Tchang, Yueh & Hwang, 1963: 625,

Taxonomic notes. Treated as a synonym of T. microps by
Wu & Wu (1992: 196); not listed among synonyms of T.
microps by Prokofiev (2010: 895).
