Description
Chromobotia, new genus
Type species. Cobitis macracanthus Bleeker, 1852.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from all other genera of Botiinae by its unique colour pattern: three broad black bars (one through eye, two on body) on a bright orange-red background. Distinguished from other genera within the subfamily Botiinae by the following combination of characters: Mental lobe developed in a barbel. Fronto-parietal fontanelle large, elliptical. Anterior chamber of gas bladder partly covered by bony capsule; posterior chamber large. Top of supraethmoid very broad. Optic foramen rather small. Suborbital spine not strongly arched, bifid. Head naked (based on Taki, 1972: 76).
Etymology. From the Greek khroma (colour) and Botia, allusion to the bright coloration. Gender feminine.
Included species:
Chromobotia macracanthus (Bleeker, 1852)
