The fishfly genus Anachauliodes Kimmins, 1954 is endemic to the Oriental region and currently includes two species, Anachauliodes tonkinicus Kimmins, 1954 and A. sinensis Yang & Yang, 1992. These species are similar morphologically. We sequenced three mitochondrial genes: COI, ND2 and 16S rRNA in order to clarify the specific identity of these two species. Our results do not support the separation of these two species. We were also not able to find any morphological characters during comparison of Anachauliodes specimens from various localities useful in distinguishing these two species. Based on these results, we synonymize A. tonkinicus and A. sinensis and recognize A. laboissierei (Navás, 1913), comb. nov. & stat. rev. as the only valid species of Anachauliodes.
鱼蛉属Anachauliodes Kimmins，1954年，是东洋区特有的属，目前包括两个物种，即东京鱼蛉Anachauliodes tonkinicus Kimmins，1954年和中华鱼蛉A. sinensis Yang & Yang，1992年。这些物种在形态上相似。我们对三个线粒体基因：细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）、烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸脱氢酶亚基2（ND2）和16S核糖体RNA进行了测序，以明确这两个物种的具体分类地位。我们的结果不支持将这两个物种分开。在比较来自不同地区的鱼蛉标本时，我们也未能找到任何有助于区分这两个物种的形态特征。基于这些结果，我们将东京鱼蛉和中华鱼蛉视为同义词，并认可拉博伊斯鱼蛉A. laboissierei（纳瓦斯，1913年），新组合及新异名，为鱼蛉属唯一有效的物种。
