is apparently a flattened lateral, roundish expansion of the
lower lip immediately in front of the maxillary barbel.

9817 [4], BMNH 1908.4.9.1 [1], Bertin & Estève, 1948:

fig. 3 (type locality: China: Fukien [Fujian]: Foochow;
holotype: ZMFIB 6480; adjective, -is, -is, -e)
Taxonomic notes. The locality of the syntypes of C. davidi
is given in original description as "western Fukien" and collected
by David in 1874. David (1875: map) was only once
in Fukien [now Fujian] and only in a very restricted area
near the village of Koaten along the border with Jiangsi.
David (1875: 261) explicitly mentioned collecting fish that
obviously are balitorids. The locality data in the MNHN
database indicates an altitude of 3000 masl (vs. 1200 in the
original description). David (1875: 284, 285) reported that
Koaten is at 1200 masl, on the southern slope of a hill whose
altitude he estimated to be 2200 masl based on his barometer,
and that mountains around did not appear to exceed 3000
masl. Koaten is identified as Kuatun and has been visited
later by several naturalists (e.g.: La Touche, 1892: 402 (map),
Pope, 1929: 339, 343, pl. 19, 1932: 490, pl. 111, 1935: 10,
496; see also Rickett et al., 1896: 489; Slater, 1897: 169;
Thomas, 1898: 769; Boulenger, 1899b: 159). Fooden (1983:
16) gives the coordinates as 27°51'N 117°48'E, which is
possibly for the summit of "Kuatun Mountain" (Wuyi Shan,
27°51'34"N 117°47'00"E, 2158 masl [which, incidentally,
shows the accuracy of David's mensurations]).

8.4.5 Formosania galericula (Zhang, in Zhang & Wang,

Crossostoma galericula Zhang, in Zhang & Wang, 2011: 85,

in Oujiang drainage; holotype: Xiaoshan Institute of
Technology of Zhejiang Ocean University, Xiaoshan
ZH 070616; treated as a noun in apposition, indeclinable)
Nomenclatural notes. Although the paper is authored by
Zhang & Wang and contains only the description of C. galericula,
authorship of the new species is attributed to Zhang
alone. Locality data are extracted from Chinese text and differ
from English abstract. The etymology of galericula is
not stated; the word exists in Latin and means wigs (plural),
