| Nota | : | This family includes a single genus Serpenticobitis, with three species. It is distinguished from other families of Cobitoidea in having the following features: short, cylindrical body with a barred colour pattern; small head, rounded snout that is conspicuously overhanging; large bifid spine immediately below eye; slightly forked caudal fin; origin of dorsal-fin origin in advance of pelvic-fin origin; pectoral fins directed laterally, same with pelvic fins in having a single simple ray; small mouth arched, with upper and lower lips fleshy and continuous, lower lip with a few folds and a median interruption but no mental lobes; 2 pairs of rostral barbels, a pair of maxillary barbels; lower jaw partly exposed; anterior nostril pierced at front side of a flap-like tube; all fins have conspicuous rows of spots; a large and distinct black spot at midheight of caudal-fin base; gasbladder capsule in two parts connected by a ‘manubrium’ (Rfe. 92804). | ||

Important recommendation:
The list below must not be used as an authority reference synonymy list like those found in scientific published revisions, which must be the source to be used and cited eventually when they exist.
Rather, it reflects the current content of FishBase, and the progress with respect to synchronization with the Catalog of Fishes. However, we think it can be useful for users to assess the quality of information in FishBase, to start new work on the family, or to cross-check with other lists.
But we appreciate to be cited in publications when this list has been of any working value. In particular, for published scientific, we suggest then to cite it in the Material and Method section as a useful tool to conduct the research, but again, not as a taxonomic or nomenclatural authority reference.
Unless it is explicitly precised, the list is not complete, please search all original names published for the family in the Catalog of Fishes (genera, species), including those with uncertain or unknown status, that are not included in FishBase when they are not attached to a valid species.
This list uses some data from Catalog of Fishes (not shown but used to sort names).
The list ordered as follows:
- When subfamilies are recognized, nominotypical subfamily first then other subfamilies by alphabetical order.
- Type genus of the family first (or of subfamily when subfamilies are recognized) then other genera by chronological order of description (and alphabetical order).
- Type species of the genus first by chronological order (and alphabetical order), with last listed misapplied names in a light gray font.
- ! Marks misspellings of the species names that must not be used.
Please send comments and corrections if you detect errors or missing names.
