10.22.1 Nemachilichthys ruppelli (Sykes, 1839)
Cobitis Rupelli Sykes, 1839a: 162 (type localites: India:
Beema River at Taimbournee / Mota Mola River near
Poona [Pune, 18°28'N 73°48'E]; syntypes: LU, ? AMS
B.7528 [1], Eschmeyer & Fricke, 2010; also in Sykes,
1839b: 59, 1841: 366, pl. 64, fig. 17; rupelli is an incorrect
original spelling since the species is explicitly named
for Rüppell and must be emended into ruppelli, Code

? Nemachilichthys shimogensis Narayan Rao, 1920: 62, pl. 2
figs. 5–5b (type locality: India: Mysore [Karnataka]:
Thunga River in Shimoga Town; holotype: BMNH

Taxonomic notes. Nemachilichthys shimogensis has long
been listed as a synonym of N. ruppelli. It is treated as distinct
by Bănărescu & Nalbant (1995: 448) but no proper
comparison has been published. The figures in the respective
original descriptions show some differences, but are not
really conclusive since several figures in Sykes (1841) do
not seem totally accurate. This can be solved only by examination
of topotypes of both nominal species.
Nomenclatural notes. Narayan Rao explicitly stated that
the holotype and about six paratypes were in BMNH. He
also stated 'examples in ZSI', but these are not explicitly
designated as types and thus are not types. The three 'syntypes'
(ZSI F 9824/1–9826/1 [3]) listed by Menon & Yazdani
(1968: 121) have no type status. There is a single series in
BMNH [1919.11.19.13–18] labelled 'types'. As it seems that
the holotype and the paratypes have been mixed, it is not
possible to identify the holotype.
