Phylogentic relationships of the endemic Chinese Cyprinid fish Pseudogyrinocheilus Prochilus

Evidence is provided to support the hypothesis that the taxa Pseudogyrinocheilus, Semilabeo, and Discolabeo form a monphyly in which Semilabeo and Discolabeo are sister groups, and both together consitute the sister group of Pseudogyrinocheilus. On the basis of phylogenetic relationgship of Pseudogyrinocheilus to others, it is proposed that the taxon Pseudogyrinocheilus be a valid genus. In addition, comments are made on importance of some features used in the traditional taxonomy of the subfamily Labeoninae.
