Abstract
A small species (<90 mm SL) of the bagrid catfish, Pseudobagrus kyphus Mai, 1978, originally described from northern Vietnam, is newly recorded from China and redescribed in detail. The species is distributed in rivers flowing into Beibu Gulf (Gulf of Tonkin); i.e., the Song Hong River basin in northern Vietnam, and rivers on the southern side of Mts. Shiwan–Dashan in southernmost Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region, China. Partial nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA are also described and compared among the populations.
