Garra bispinosa Zhang: Zhang 2005 : 9–15 (? Daying-jiang drainage, Yunnan, China); Chen 2013 : 311 (? Longchuan-jiang and Daying-jiang drainage, Yunnan, China). Material examined. SWFC 0103199–0103201, 0 103203, 0103205–0103210, 0 603002, 0 603004, 12 ex., 88.1– 107.5 mm SL, Yunnan : Yingjiang: Nabang, Mulei-jiang, an upper tributary of the Irrawaddy River. Diagnosis. Meristic and morphometric data are shown in Tables 3 and 4 . Garra bispinosa is distinguished from congeners with the transverse lobe and the proboscis in the Irrawaddy River and Salween River basins by having the following combination of characters: bi-lobed proboscis (vs. unilobed proboscis in G. elongata , G. gotyla , G. litanensis , G. qiaojiensis , and G. rotundinasus ; tri-lobed proboscis in G. fuliginosa , G. salweenica , and G. surgifrons sp. nov. ); proboscis free anteriorly (vs. not free in G. gotyla ); 16 circumpeduncular scales (vs. 12 in G. qiaojiensis , G. litanensis , and G. rotundinasus ); 9–11 predorsal scales (vs. 10–12 in G. gotyla ). Distribution. The species is only known from the upper Mulei-jiang, an upper tributary of the Irrawaddy River drainage. Remark. The original description by Zhang (2005) only recorded G. bispinosa in the Daying-jiang drainage without the specific localities or stream name. Yingjiang County of Yunnan Province , China is located at the boundary between China and Myanmar . Most rivers and streams in west Yingjiang County flow directly to Myanmar and converge into the mainstem of the Irrawaddy River, rather than into the Dayingjiang drainage in the eastern region of Yingjiang County. According to our records of Garra in west Yunnan , G. bispinosa has only been found in the upper tributaries of the Mulei-jiang (an upper tributary of the Irrawaddy River) from Nabang, Yingjiang County, Yunnan , China , rather than in the Daying-jiang drainage.
