Diagnostic characters distinguishing the gudgeons and were reassessed and found to be inconsistent, making it difficult to accurately identify them. Numerous specimens of both species were examined combining genetic (mitochondrial COI gene) and morpho-meristic analyses. Our findings demonstrate that and can be reliably distinguished from each other based on revised diagnostic characters, including several morphometric features (interorbital width, jaw length, and caudal-peduncle depth) as well as distinct head, body, and fin coloration.
对区分鳅科鱼类的诊断特征进行了重新评估，发现这些特征并不一致，难以准确识别它们。结合遗传分析（线粒体COI基因）和形态计量分析，对这两个物种的大量标本进行了检查。我们的研究结果表明，根据修订后的诊断特征，包括几个形态测量特征（眶间宽度、颌长和尾柄深度）以及独特的头部、身体和鳍的颜色，可以可靠地区分这两个物种。
