Nomenclatural note
The genus
Acahara
Jordan & Hubbs, 1925 is currently considered as a junior synonym of
Phoxinus
Rafinesque, 1820
(
Tan and Armbruster, 2018
). However, the
type
species of this genus is
Leuciscus semotilus
Jordan & Starks, 1905 for which the valid name is
Rhynchocypris semotilus
(Jordan & Starks, 1905) (
e.g.
Lee and Sim 2017
). By consequence, the genus
Acahara
Jordan & Hubbs, 1925 is a junior syno- nym of the genus
Rhynchocypris
Günther, 1889
.
