The king of rivers or mahseer comprises three genera: , and under the Cyprinidae family. The genus has been classified as the true mahseer due to the presence of a median lobe among the three genera. The species are widely distributed across Southeast (SE) Asia, and 13 species have been reported previously: , , , and . However, the exact number of valid species remains debatable. Different and unstandardized approaches of applying genetic markers in taxonomic identification and morphology variation within the same species have further widened the gap and ameliorated the instability of species taxonomy. Therefore, synchronized and strategized research among species researchers is urgently required to improve and fill the knowledge gap. This review is a current update of SE Asia's species, outlining their distribution, morphology, and genetic identification. In addition, the present review proposes that there are ten valid species in the SE Asian region. This list will serve as a template and standard to improve the taxonomy of the SE Asian species, which could serve as a basis to open new directions in research.
、 和 ，隶属于鲤科。 属由于在这三个属中存在中叶而被归类为真正的马西亚鱼。 物种广泛分布于东南亚，此前已报道过13种 物种： 、 、 、 和 。然而，有效 物种的确切数量仍存在争议。在分类鉴定中应用遗传标记的不同且不标准化的方法以及同一物种内的形态变异进一步扩大了差距并加剧了 物种分类的不稳定性。因此，迫切需要 物种研究人员之间进行同步且有策略的研究，以填补知识空白。本综述是对东南亚 物种的最新更新，概述了它们的分布、形态和基因鉴定。此外，本综述提出东南亚地区有10种有效的 物种。这份清单将作为一个模板和标准，以改进东南亚 物种的分类，这可为 研究开辟新方向奠定基础。
