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 former subgenus Paracanthocobitis being raised to a full species, leaving just the type species, Acanthocobitis pavonacea, in the current genus.[1]
Species
The following species are included in Acanthocobitis:[2]
- Acanthocobitis botia (F. Hamilton, 1822) (Mottled zipper loach)
- Acanthocobitis mooreh (Sykes, 1839) (Maharashtra zipper loach)
