, a new species, the second one in the genus, from the family Odontobutidae, is described from the Hongshui River, in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River of the Pearl River drainage, Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China. This species is distinguished from its only congener, , by the blunt snout (vs. pointed); mean snout length/head length ratio 0.27 (vs. 0.3); eye not extending outward (vs. protruding); mean interorbital width/head length ratio 0.25 (vs. 0.11). Additionally, the results of molecular phylogenetic analysis confirmed that is distinct from its sister species, .
描述了来自中国南方广西壮族自治区百色市珠江水系西江上游红水河的新物种,它是齿塘鳢科该属的第二个物种。该物种与其唯一的同属物种的区别在于吻钝(而非尖);平均吻长/头长比为0.27(而非0.3);眼睛不向外突出(而非突出);平均眶间距/头长比为0.25(而非0.11)。此外,分子系统发育分析结果证实该物种与其姐妹物种不同。
