In September and October 2015, a new species of the family Nemacheilidae, Triplophysa tianxingensis sp. nov., was discovered from underground water in Qiubei County, Yunnan Province, China. It can be distinguished from all other troglobiotic Triplophysa species occurring in Yunnan by the following combination of characters: eyes small, a little degenerated; barbels longer; ventral profiles greatly convex; pectoral fin short, attaining a third of the distance from the pectoral-fin base to pelvic fin base; body with many brown blotches; caudal peduncle with fin fold; caudal fin shallowly forked, and free posterior chamber of swim bladder cylindrical.
2015 年 9 月至 10 月，在中国云南省邱北县的地下水中发现了新的泥鳅科鱼类，即天兴田氏鳅（Triplophysa tianxingensis sp. nov.）。该物种可通过以下特征与云南的其他所有洞穴生活的田氏鳅属鱼类相区分：眼睛小，有点退化；触须较长；腹面轮廓非常凸起；胸鳍短，仅达到从胸鳍基部到腹鳍基部距离的三分之一；身体有许多褐色斑点；尾柄具鳍褶；尾鳍浅叉形，鳔的后室为圆柱形。
