Abstract Paraqianlabeo, new genus, is described from the Chishui-He and Wu-Jiang rivers of the Yangtze River basin in Guizhou Province, South China. This new genus is distinguished from all other labeonine genera by a combination of morphological and molecular evidence. It is distinguished from all other Asian garrains by a unique oromandibular morphology; i.e., an arched, wide, rudimentary sucker formed by raised front and lateral margins of lower lip, postlabial groove and mental groove between middle and lateral lobes of lower lip chevron-shaped; anteroventral margin of rostral cap arched, thin and papillose; rostral cap not overlying upper lip, upper lip connected with lower lip around corners of mouth; well developed upper lip free from upper jaw; lower lip divided into two lateral fleshy lobes and one central plate, these two lateral fleshy lobes small and short, median lobe of lower lip large; anterior and anterolateral edges of upper and lower lip finely papillose; shallow, straight groove between lower lip and lower jaw; lower jaw bears thin, cornified cutting edge. Additionally, scales on mid-ventral region from pectoral fins to pelvic fins subcutaneous and half-hidden; dorsal fin with 3 simple and 7½-8 branched rays. Paraqianlabeo lineatus, new species, type species of this genus, has longitudinal dark stripe along side of body. Analyses of mitochondrial DNA data indicate that this new genus forms a highly diverged lineage within the Garraina group of Labeoninae. Key words: taxonomy, Garraina, new genus, Yangtze River drainage, Guizhou Province

Introduction The Labeonini (sensu Reid 1982; Stiassny & Getahun 2007) is composed of a large number of cyprinid genera from the freshwaters of tropical Africa and Asia (Zhu et al. 2011). Labeonins are widely distributed in rivers and streams, and most species are adapted to rapidly flowing waters. Currently, this group is represented in Southeast Asia and South China by approximately 36 genera (Zhang & Zhou 2012). Most of the generic-level diversity of the Labeonini is concentrated in South China where 23 genera are found. Recently, four new genera, Protolabeo, Cophecheilus, Sinigarra and Stenorynchoacrum, have been discovered and described, totaling 27 genera in China (An et al. 2010, Zhu et al. 2011, Zhang & Zhou 2012, Huang et al. 2014), of which 13 are endemic. These taxa are distinguished from other cyprinid fish groups by a high degree of morphological modification of their oromandibular structures (Zhang et al. 2000). Consequently, the taxonomy of the Labeonini at the generic-level rank is poorly understood. This tribe is the subject of recent molecular phylogenetic analyses that seek to better understand their relationships and to develop more accurate taxonomic classifications (Zheng et al. 2010; Yang & Mayden 2010; Yang et al. 2012). During recent fieldwork in Guizhou Province from May to September 2013, several specimens were sampled from the Wu-Jiang and Chishui-He rivers of the upper Yangtze River basin. The new specimens had distinct phenotypes and could not be assigned confidently to any genus. These observations combined with the morphological and molecular analyses of previous studies (Zhang et al. 2000; Zhang & Chen 2004; Zhang & Chen 2006; Zhang et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2008; Zhang & Zhou 2012), convince us that a new genus is warranted for these specimens, which is described herein.

Material and methods Taxon sampling Twenty-two specimens were collected from the Wu-Jiang and Chishui-He rivers of the upper Yangtze River basin at Wangcao, Suiyang County; Shuikan, Tongzi County; and Jingmen, Jinsha County; in Guizhou Province, China (Fig. 1). Following euthanization, tissues were taken from adult specimens and preserved in 95% ethanol. Voucher specimens were fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and later transferred to 70% ethanol. The holotype (SWU 20130710005) and paratypes (SWU 20130710006-22) are deposited in the Museum of the Key Laboratory of Freshwater Fish Reproduction and Development (Ministry of Education), Southwest University, China. The remaining four paratypes are deposited in the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates (CUMV 98006).

Morphological examinations Measurements were taken point to point with digital calipers and recorded to the nearest 0.1 mm. Counts and measurements were made on the left side whenever possible, following Kottelat (2001). Predorsal, prepectoral, prepelvic and preanal lengths were taken, respectively, from the anteriormost tip of the snout to the dorsal-,

pectoral-, pelvic- and anal-fin origins. Interorbital width was measured as the shortest distance between the upper margins of the orbits. Pelvic fin and caudal fin rays were counted following Roberts (1989). Description of pharyngeal teeth follow Hubbs & Lagler (1947). Subunits of the head are given as proportions of the head length (HL). Head length and measurements of other parts of the body are expressed as percentages of the standard length (SL).

DNA extraction and sequencing Total genomic DNA was extracted using the phenol-chloroform method (Sambrook et al. 1989). A 588 bp fragment of the COI [cytochrome oxidase gene subunit I] was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers COI–L5956: 5'-CACAAAGACATTGGCACCCT-3' and COI–H6855: 5'AGTCAGCTGAAKACTTTTAC-3' (Peng et al. 2009). Standard polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were performed in a final volume of 30 μl with the following procedures: initial denaturation at 94°C for 4 min, 35 amplification cycles at 94°C for 1 min, annealing for 40 sec at 52°C, extension for 1 min at 72°C, and final extension at 72°C for 10 min. After amplification, a 2 μL sample of each PCR product was visualized on 0.8% lowmelting agarose gels; the remaining product was sequenced directly by a commercial sequencing corporation.

Phylogenetic analysis In total, 27 DNA sequences (see below) were used for the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships, including three samples of the new species. Most of the known genera in China were included except for Cophecheilus, Sinigarra, Protolabeo, Sinilabeo and Longanalus (Table 1), whose tissue samples were not available. The sequences of Opsariichthys uncirostris and Catlocarpio siamensis were chosen as outgroup taxa based on the studies of Yang et al. (2012). Voucher specimens, and their localities and GenBank accession numbers are given in Table 1. CLUSTALX v1.83 (Thompson et al. 1997) was used to perform the sequence alignment, with parameters set at default. Genetic divergences were estimated with MEGA 5.0 (Tamura et al. 2011) by calculating the Kimura 2-parameter distance (K2P; Kimura 1980). Phylogenetic analyses were performed using neighbor-joining (NJ) tree. A rooted NJ analysis based on K2P distances model was run using MEGA 5.0.

Description of the new genus Paraqianlabeo, new genus Type species: Paraqianlabeo lineatus, new species (Figs. 2, 4) Diagnosis. Paraqianlabeo can be distinguished from all other genera of the Garraina (sensu Stiassny & Getahun 2007) by its uniquely modified oromandibular morphology; i.e., arched, wide, rudimentary sucker formed by raised front and lateral margins of lower lip, postlabial groove and mental groove between middle and lateral lobes of lower lip chevron-shaped (Fig. 2). The genus is further distinguished by having a unique combination of the following characters: anteroventral margin of rostral cap arched, thin and papillose; rostral cap not overlying upper lip, upper lip connected with lower lip around corners of mouth; well developed upper lip free from upper jaw; lower lip divided into two lateral fleshy lobes and one central plate, these two lateral fleshy lobes small and short, median lobe of lower lip large; anterior and anterolateral edges of upper and lower lip finely papillose; shallow, straight groove between lower lip and lower jaw; lower jaw bearing thin, cornified cutting edge; scales in ventral medial region from pectoral fins to pelvic fins half-hidden and subcutaneous; 3 scale rows below lateral line; 7½-8 branched dorsal-fin rays. Etymology. The generic name is from a combination of the Latin word Para (beside; beyond or outside; associated with) and Qian (abbreviation for Guizhou Province), where the type species was collected, and the Latin word Labeo, a generic name and commonly utilized suffix for Labeoninae genera. Gender: masculine.

Paraqianlabeo lineatus, new species (Fig. 2; Table 2) Holotype. SWU 20130710005, 65.1mm SL, a tributary flowing into Furong-Jiang of Wu-Jiang (Yangtze River) drainage at Wangcao, Suiyang County, Guizhou, South China, (28°13' N 107°13' E); coll. H.T. Zhao, July 2013. Paratypes (21). CUMV 98006 (4), SWU 20130710006–22 (17), 62.8–80.8 mm SL, same data as holotype. Diagnosis. A species of Paraqianlabeo with longitudinal dark stripe along side of body (Fig. 3); for additional features see the generic diagnosis. Description. Whole body and morphology of oromandibular structures are illustrated in Figs. 2 and 4, respectively. Morphometric data for 22 type specimens are given in Table 2. A small-sized fish attaining length of up to 81 mm, body elongate and compressed, greatest depth at dorsal-fin origin. Caudal peduncle slender with smallest depth close to base of caudal fin. Dorsal profile of body gradually ascending from snout tip to dorsal-fin origin; from there to origin of dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays profile slightly concave. Ventral profile from tip of snout to pectoral-fin insertion nearly straight; convex from there to anal-fin origin. Anal-fin base straight; slightly concave from posterior end of anal-fin base to origin of ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays. In size and shape of head, body and fins, it is most similar to another diminutive labeoninae Qianlabeo striatus Zhang & Chen, 2004, endemic to the Beipan-Jiang tributary (Fig. 4). Head moderately large, longer than wide; interorbital space slightly concave. Eye medium-sized, dorsolaterally placed in anterior half of head. Snout blunt in lateral view and pointed in dorsal view, with shallow sublachrymal groove extending obliquely to corner of mouth; no tubercles on tip. Two pairs of barbels; rostral pair at anterior end of sublachrymal groove and well-developed maxillary pair at corner of mouth, longer than eye diameter but seven-tenths as long as rostral pair. Three rows of pharyngeal teeth, tooth pattern 5,4,2–2,4,5, with compressed and pointed distal tips (Fig. 5a). Air bladder bipartite, anterior chamber oval, wider than posterior one; posterior chamber stick-like or elongate with an enlarged, pointed distal end, about twice as long as anterior chamber (Fig. 5b).

Color pattern in formalin In formalin-preserved specimens, top of head grayish brown, snout and lip grayish; cheek with sparse brownish pigments; opercle and subopercle brownish. Body gray and yellowish dorsally and laterally, slightly pale ventrally. A longitudinal dark stripe originating near upper extremity of gill opening and terminating medially at caudal-fin base, extends anteriorly along first longitudinal scale row above lateral line and posteriorly along lateral line, slightly wider and more prominent posteriorly, especially at the end of caudal base. All fins yellowish with black speckles on it. Dorsal, caudal, pectoral and pelvic-fins with dark chromatophores on rays, conferring a dusky appearance. Distribution. Known from tributaries of the Wu-Jiang and Chishui-He rivers within the upper Yangtze River basin at Wangcao (28°13' N 107°13' E), Suiyang County; Shuikan (28°4' N 106°46' E), Tongzi County; and Jingmen (27°32' N 105°59' E), Jinsha County, Guizhou Province, South China (Fig. 1).

Habitat and ecology Paraqianlabeo lineatus was collected in clearwater hill streams with sluggish flow over gravel substrate (Fig. 6). The catchment of this tributary is endowed with numerous hill streams with substrates of stone. The width of the river channel was about 5–6 meters and water depth approximately 60 cm. Individuals of Paraqianlabeo lineatus swim slowly and hide among the rocks. Only two other species were collected with them: Carassius auratus (Cyprinidae) and Pseudorasbora parva (Cyprinidae). Etymology. The specific epithet is from the Latin lineatus, meaning lined, referring to the longitudinal dark stripe along the side of the body.

Discussion There are three basic patterns of oromandibular structures among Southeast and East Asian genera of the Labeonini (Zhang & Chen 2004; Zhang et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2008). Paraqianlabeo belongs to the third group, the subtribe Garraina (= Garrae sensu Rainboth 1996), that have a well-developed or reduced upper lip that is separated from the upper jaw by a deep groove. This group comprises the following genera: Garra, Crossocheilus, Epalzeorhynchos, Parasinilabeo, Sinocrossocheilus, Rectoris, Paracrossochilus, Pseudocrossocheilus, Discogobio, Discocheilus, Placocheilus, Pseudogyrinocheilus, Akrokolioplax, Semilabeo, Stenorynchoacrum and Hongshuia. Paraqianlabeo can be easily distinguished from Hongshuia, Discocheilus, Placocheilus and Discogobio by the presence of three (vs. two) rows of pharyngeal teeth. It also can be separated from Rectoris, Qianlabeo and Stenorynchoacrum by having mental grooves present (vs. absent). Six other garrain genera, Crossocheilus, Pseudocrossocheilus, Sinocrossocheilus, Epalzeorhynchos, Akrokolioplax and Rectoris, have rostral caps with fimbriate (grooved) ventral margins, while that of the new genus is not fimbriate, with no obvious grooves (Fig. 3). Further, the rostral fold and cap of the new genus differs from those of Semilabeo, Pseudogyrinocheilus and Parasinilabeo in being smooth vs. densely covered with papillae (Zhu et al. 2011; Fig.

2). These three genera have rostral caps with a densely papillated ventral margin and a densely papillated lower lip; these characters all easily distinguish them from Paraqianlabeo. The detailed characters utilized to distinguish Paraqianlabeo from other related genera are given in diagnosis.

Qianlabeo is very similar to Paraqianlabeo in having a longitudinal dark stripe along the side of the body and in body size, but Paraqianlabeo is conspicuously distinct from Qianlabeo in having a suctorial lower lip (vs. absent), a short postlabial groove (vs. long), a mental groove present (vs. absent), and development of papillae on the rostral fold and a complete upper lip (vs. incomplete and restricted to the side of upper jaw). Four sequences were newly determined and deposited in GenBank (Table 1). All the 27 aligned sequences of the COI contain 588 nucleotide sites, of which 215 were variable and 176 potentially parsimony-informative. No indels were observed, and no stop codons were found in protein coding regions, suggesting that nuclear pseudogenes were not sequenced. The genetic distance (K2P) between Paraqianlabeo and other labeonine genera ranges from 6.9% to 19.0% (Table 3); the lowest pairwise genetic distance is between Pseudogyrinocheilus and Paraqianlabeo. The average genetic distance of three geographic populations of Paraqianlabeo is less than 2% and within the range typical for intra-specific variation in other cyprinids (Zhao et al., unpublished data). The NJ tree is shown in Fig. 7. The monophyly of labeonine was recovered, consistent with findings in previous studies (e.g., Zheng et al. 2010; Yang et al. 2012). Among Paraqianlabeo, individuals from the three locations in northern Guizhou Province formed a monophyletic group with strong support (BPP = 100; Fig. 7). A specimen identified as ‘Qianlabeo striatus’ (sequence data from Zheng et al. 2010) that falls within the Paraqianlabeo group in the tree was not originally collected from its type locality Beipan-Jiang of Pearl River drainage, Guizhou Province, but from the Yangtze River drainage in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. This ‘Qianlabeo striatus’ specimen was most probably misidentified by the authors (Zheng et al. 2010) and should be

assigned to Paraqianlabeo. The genus Qianlabeo (sensu Zhang & Chen 2004) is situated between the Labeonini (= Labeonina) and the Garrini (= Garraina) based on a Qianlabeo sequenced from its type locality (Beipan-Jiang of the Pearl River drainage in the central region of Guizhou Province), consistent with the position suggested by Zhang & Chen (2004). Taken together, our data suggest that Qianlabeo is not distributed in the Yangtze River drainage, but is restricted to its type locality, the Beipan-Jiang tributary of the Pearl River drainage in the central region of Guizhou Province.
