Yunnan schizothoracin

　　The Yunnan schizothoracin has an elongated, slightly laterally compressed body. Its head is nearly conical. The mouth is subterminal, almost transverse. The anterior edge of the lower jaw has sharp keratinized projections. The lower lip is intact, narrow and elongated, featuring papillae, with a continuous post-labial groove. There are two pairs of barbels, which are relatively long, about twice the diameter of the eye. The body is covered with fine scales, while the chest and abdomen are scaleless. There are more than 31 scales along the lateral line above. The anal scales are well-developed. The dorsal fin spine is relatively weak, with fine serrations on the lower posterior edge, and its origin is opposite to that of the pelvic fin.
