36. Homaloptera fimbriata, sp.n. D.11. A. 7. P.19% V.11. 
(Plate III. Fig. A.) 
This species differs from the typical species of Homaloptera in the 
shape of its snout and in the arrangement of the barbels. The snout is 
flat and spatulate, considerably narrowed in front and nearly as long as 
broad; the mouth is surrounded with fringes, from which the barbels 
differ only by their greater size; the barbels and fringes of the upper jaw 
arranged in two concentric series, two pairs of barbels standing in the 
‘outer series; behind each angle of the mouth there is a third pair of 
barbels. 
Scales minute and smooth, but there are a few larger ones along the 
median line of the back and along the lateral line. Origin of the anal fin 
rather nearer to the root of the caudal than to the occiput. Eyes very 
‘small, much nearer to the gill-opening than to the end of the snout; 
ventral fins opposite to the anterior half of the dorsal. Pectoral fins not 
extending to the ventrals. Body with broad, indistinct, dark cross bands; 
pectoral, ventral, and caudal fins with greyish spots. 
Three specimens, 4} inches long, from Ichang and the Min River. 
37. Homaloptera abbreviata, sp.n. D.11. A.7. P. 23, V.14-15. 
L. lat. 75. (Plate III. Fig. B.) 
The scales are smooth and very small; those of the lateral line are 
‘somewhat larger, and seventy-five perforated scales can be counted in it. 
Snout rounded and nearly twice as long as the postorbital part of the 
head. Barbels short and simple; upper lip fringed, but not the lower. 
‘The dorsal fin occupies the middle between the snout and caudal fin, its 
origin being somewhat behind that of the ventrals. Pectorals extending 
beyond the origin of the ventrals ; caudal deeply forked. 
Upper parts dark coloured, fins yellowish, lower caudal lobe with a 
diffuse, blackish longitudinal band. 
One specimen four inches long from mountain streams running into 
the Min River, Province Sze Chuen.
