A new blind loach species, Triplophysa erythraea sp. nov., from a karst cave in Hunan Province, central south China, is described based on morphology and cyt b gene sequencing. It can be distinguished from other species of Triplophysa by the following combination of characters: eyes absent; body scaleless and colorless; caudal-fin 17; maxillary barbel longest; fins transparent, compressed pectoral-fin reaching 2/3 distance between pectoral-fin and pelvic-fin origins; pelvic-fin and dorsal-fin origins relative; posterior chamber of airbladder well developed, long, oval, and dissociative.
一种新的盲魾属鱼类，红斑盲魾（Triplophysa erythraea sp. nov.），产于中国中南部湖南省的一个喀斯特洞穴，基于形态学和细胞色素 b 基因测序进行描述。它可以通过以下特征组合与其他 Triplophysa 物种区分开来：无眼；身体无鳞无色；尾鳍 17 枚；上颌须最长；鳍透明，压缩的胸鳍达到胸鳍和腹鳍起点之间的 2/3 距离；腹鳍和背鳍起点相对；囊鳃后室发达，长，椭圆形，分离。
