Abstract: | A new species of bitterling, Acheilognathus striatus sp. nov., is described on the basis of 57 specimens collected from the lower Yangtze River in Jiangxi Province, China. It
can be distinguished from all congeners by the following combined characters: a pair of relatively long barbels, slightly
longer than half of eye diameter; dorsal fin with three simple and 8–9 branched fin rays, anal fin with three simple and 7–8
branched fin rays; a black longitudinal stripe on body from the base of caudal peduncle, distinctly reaching anteriorly to
the vertical line from the origin of dorsal fin, broader in males than in females; a scale distance between the longitudinal
stripe and lateral line below the origin of dorsal fin; dorsal and anal fin margined with black band in males. |
