Scientists renew taxonomic revision of Altigena lippa and recover the validity of A. laticeps
Altigena Burton 1934 (Cyprinidae: Labeoninae) is a group of mid-to-large freshwater benthic fish. Kottelat (2017) resurrected this genus from genus Bangana based on the result of the molecular phylogeny of Yang et al. (2012) and redefined the generic diagnoses. The monophyly and validity of Altigena is supported by subsequent study.
  Altigena lippa (Fowler, 1936) was well known as Labeo lipp... more
