Conspectus cobitidum - Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research

Taxonomic notes. Kam or Kami of Russian authors is Kham,
a former eastern province of Tibet, corresponding to today's
eastern Xizang, western Sichuan and northwestern Yunnan
and including headwaters of Yangtze, Mekong, Salween, Irrawaddy,
and Brahmaputra. Kozlov was in upper Mekong
and upper Yangtze in 1900. The type locality is Hi-Chu [name
in ZISP accession book, not Ha-Chu]. The Hi-Chu is a northern
tributary of Tongtiang He (the name of a stretch of the
upper Yangtze). Kozlov travelled from 13 to 20 July 1900
along the Hi-Chu from Kap-chzha-kamba to the source (Kozlov,
1902b: xxviii). See also maps in Kozlov (1902a, 1948).
10.14.4 Indotriplophysa leptosoma (Herzenstein, 1888)
Nemachilus Stoliczkae leptosoma Herzenstein, 1888: 23,
pl. 1 fig. 2 (type locality: China: Tibet: Schuga River
[based on map in Przheval'skii, 1883: Qinghai, river flowing
near Xugui and entering Golmud He at 35°57'N
94°48'E]; holotype: ZISP 7261, Prokofiev, 2007b: 15,

Nemachilus Stoliczkae productus Herzenstein, 1888: 23, pl. 1
fig. 5 (type locality: China: Qinghai: "Fontes fl. Chuanche"
[sources of Chuan-che River, Huang He; then considered
to be lakes Zhaling Hu [or Ngoring Hu, 34°52'N
97°10'E] and Eling Hu [or Gyaring Hu, 34°52'N 97°38'E];
holotype: ZISP 7329, Prokofiev, 2007b: 15, fig. 6b; simultaneous
subjective synonym of Nemachilus stoliczkae
leptosoma Herzenstein, 1888: 23, first reviser [apparently
Zhu, 1989: 110] gave precedence to N. s. leptosoma;
adjective, -us, -a, -um)
10.14.5 Indotriplophysa tenuicauda (Steindachner, 1866)
Cobitis tenuicauda Steindachner, 1866: 792, pl. 17 fig. 3
(type locality: India: Jammu & Kashmir: Rupshu: rivulet
near Hanle monastery; syntypes: NMW 48570 [6], Eschmeyer
& Fricke, 2010; compound noun, indeclinable)
? Nemachilus ladacensis Günther, 1868: 356 (type locality:
India: Kashmir: Ladakh; holotype: BMNH 1860.3.19.
789, Kullander et al., 1999: 142, 145; adjective, -is, -is, -e)
Taxonomic notes. Kullander et al. (1999: 145) examined
the holotype of N. ladacensis and commented that it might
be a synonym of I. tenuicauda; both nominal species are
described from Ladakh. Li et al. (2007: 55) considered
N. ladacensis as a valid species present in the Tarim basin;
they do not mention I. tenuicauda and do not seem to have
had access to material.
10.14.6 Indotriplophysa tenuis (Day, 1877)
Nemacheilus tenuis Day, 1877b: 796 (type locality: Tadjikistan:
Aktash [12600 ft] where water of Ak-su passes to
Oxus [Amu-Darya drainage, Murgab system, 3840 masl;

157; also in Day, 1878b: 15, pl. 5 fig. 4; adjective, -is,
-is, -e)
Taxonomic notes. The widely disjunct localities suggest that
two species are involved. A lectotype designation and redescription
are needed.
