Sinocyclocheilus yishanensis (common name: Yishan golden-line barbel) is a species of cave fish in the family Cyprinidae.[1][2][3] It is endemic to Guangxi province in southern China and known from the Liu River, a tributary of the Pearl River. Its specific name yishanensis refers to the Yishan County (now called Yizhou ) where its type locality is.[2]
It grows to 14.2 cm (5.6 in) standard length and has a scaled, slightly humpbacked body.[2]
The type locality was a subterranean river that has now been changed into a reservoir.[2]
