Acanthocobitis
''Acanthocobitis'' is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish of the stone loach family, Nemacheilidae. Recent work has suggested that the genus be split into two with the subgenus '' Paracanthocobitis'' being raised to a full species, leaving just the type species, ''Acanthocobitis pavonacea'', in the current genus. Species The following species are included in ''Acanthocobitis'' ''sensu lato'': Subgenus ''Paracanthocobitis'' * '' Acanthocobitis (Paracanthocobitis) abutwebi'' R. A. Singer & Page, 2015 (Hillstream zipper loach) * '' Acanthocobitis (Paracanthocobitis) adelaideae'' R. A.

Paracanthocobitis
''Paracanthocobitis'' is a genus, or subgenus, of freshwater fish in the family Nemacheilidae. This genus is known from the Indus basin in Pakistan to the Mekong basin of Cambodia and Laos The type species is '' Paracanthocobitis zonalternans''. Some authorities treat this as a subgenus of '' Acanthocobitis'' and Fishbase only includes the five species described in 2015 by Singer & Plant, meaning that ''P. (A). zonalternans'' is not the type species. Species SInger and Page recognised 14 species in this genus: * '' Paracanthocobitis abutwebi'' R. A.

Acanthocobitis Pavonacea
''Acanthocobitis pavonacea,'' also known as the spearfin loach, is a species of ray-finned fish. It is known to be found in northeastern India in the Ganges and Brahmaputra basins. This species may be the only member of its genus if a 2015 recommendation to divide the genus ''Acanthocobitis'' is followed, currently Fishbase FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web.
