Book Description

Publication Date: October 15, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0520098099 | ISBN-13: 978-0520098091

In this study the author describes Hypsibarbus, a new genus of Asian cyprinid fishes with twelve species, three of them new. A complete set of 45 measurements and 17 counts was taken and analyzed for approximately 250 specimens, including all type material, of more than 1000 specimens encountered, representing most of the major fish collections of the world. The author fully redescribes and illustrates all species in the new genus, and includes keys for their identification. To provide a basis for understanding zoogeographic implications of the phylogeny obtained for Hypsibarbus, the geography and history of the Southeast Asia river basins is discussed in detail.
