Nomenclatural notes. Because it is infrasubspecific, the
name D. s. u. var. pedaschenkoi is excluded from zoological
nomenclature (Code arts. 1.3.4, 45.5) and is not available
from Berg (1931b). If the name has been used later as the
valid name of a species or subspecies, then it is available
from that next usage (Code art. 45.5.1). I found only one
usage of the name as a valid species, by Prokofiev (2006b:
257), but there might be earlier uses. To be available from a
next usage as a species-group name, Code art. 45.5.1 requires
that it satisfies arts. 11–18. Article 16 requires that
for names published after 1999 to be available, the author
must explicitly indicate it is intentionally new. This was not
the case in Prokofiev (2006b). If there were an earlier use
before 2000, it does not need to be indicated and the name is
automatically made available.

Nemachilus carassus Nikolski, in Prokofiev, 2007b: 4 (unpublished
name on a label, not available; based on ZISP
12576; locality: China: Qinghai: Lake Alyk Nor [Alag
Hu, 35°34'N 97°06'E], southern slope of Burkhan Buddha
Range [erroneously identified as a lake in Mongolia
by Kottelat, 2006: 55; but see map in Kozlov, 1902a])
Taxonomic notes. Treated as subspecies of T. stolickai by
Prokofiev (2007b: 4), which geography suggests should be
re-examined. The types of N. bertini were collected by
A. David, apparently together with the holotype of Barbatula
nuda, west of Beijing (see discussion under that species)
and I doubt it is conspecific with T. retropinnis.
