A new species of the genus is described based on specimens from a karst cave in Andong Town, Xincheng County, Liuzhou City, Guangxi, China. sp. nov. can be distinguished from its congener species by the following combination of characteristics: eye degenerated into a black spot; whole body covered by scales, except for the head, throat, and abdomen; incomplete lateral line; forked caudal fin; 8-10 gill rakers on the first gill arch; 13-14 branched caudal fin rays; 8-9 branched dorsal fin rays; 5-6 anal fin rays; 9-10 pectoral fin rays; upper adipose keel depth mostly 1/2 of the caudal peduncle depth; and caudal fin forked.
基于采自中国广西柳州市忻城县安东镇一个喀斯特洞穴的标本，描述了该属的一个新物种。新物种可通过以下特征组合与同属其他物种区分开来：眼睛退化为一个黑点；除头部、喉部和腹部外，全身覆盖鳞片；侧线不完整；尾鳍分叉；第一鳃弓上有8 - 10个鳃耙；13 - 14根尾鳍分支鳍条；8 - 9根背鳍分支鳍条；5 - 6根臀鳍鳍条；9 - 10根胸鳍鳍条；上脂鳍深度大多为尾柄深度的1/2；尾鳍分叉。
