Paracobitis is a genus of Asian stone loaches.[2]

Species

Fishbase currently recognises 16 species in this genus[2] but this has been revised by other authorities with at least two species being moved to Schistura and a further two (Paracobitis posterodorsalus and Paracobitis maolanensis) being synonymised with Triplophysa longibarbata.[3] Additionally, new species are still being discovered occasionally. Paracobitis salihae is the most recent and was described in 2020.[4]
