10.8 Eonemachilus Berg, 1938
Eonemachilus Berg, 1938: 314 (type species: Nemacheilus
nigromaculatus Regan, 1904: 192, by original designation).
Gender masculine.
Taxonomic notes. Some authors have recognised a Y. nigromaculatus
group within Yunnanilus (e.g. Chen, Yang &
Yang, 2012). Within this group, Y. nigromaculatus and
Y. yangzonghaiensis are very conspicuous, with a deep body,
mouth terminal and somewhat upturned, a colour pattern of
bold dark bars or elongated blotches on a whitish or pale
yellowish background, and their lacustrine habitat. I consider
them as a distinct genus. Judging from the figure in the
original description, Y. longidorsalis is possibly related to
and tentatively placed in Eonemachilus; it is not lacustrine.
The remaining species of the Y. nigromaculatus group do
not seem to constitute a monophyletic group. Some of them
may represent one or several new genera and others may be
more related with species now in Heminoemcaheilus. For
the time being, they are all retained in Yunnanilus.
