“…krempfi was described in 1938 by Pellegrin and Chevey, treated as endemic to Vietnam (Pellegrin & Chevey, 1938). Contrary to the traditional views, H. krempfi showed distant relationships to the genus Hemiculter in our phylogenetic tree (Figure 1), which is concordant with recent studies (Tang et al, 2013;Vasil'eva, Vasil'ev, Nemkova, et al, 2022) Chen, 1998;Ding, 1994;Warpachowski, 1888;Wu, 1964;Wu & Yi, 1959). However, the present research revealed that H. bleekeri and H. lucidus were clearly outside of Hemiculter, confirming recent molecular studies (Cheng et al, 2022;Tang et al, 2013;Vasil'eva, Vasil'ev, Miroshnichenko, et al, 2022;Vasil'eva, Vasil'ev, Nemkova, et al, 2022).…”

“…Cultrinae genera (e.g., Hemiculter and Toxabramis) were nonmonophyletic, and more detailed revisionary work would be needed to clarify the relationships and monophyly of genera. The nonmonophyly of these two genera was subsequently supported by Cheng et al (2022). Vasil'eva, Vasil'ev, Nemkova, et al (2022 noted that Hemiculter, Hemiculterella, and Pseudohemiculter are paraphyletic.…”

“…(2) revise the generic classification based on phylogenetic relationships, with some key morphological characters; and (3) redescribe the newly reported species H. yungaoi (Vasil'eva, Vasil'ev, Miroshnichenko, et al, 2022;Vasil'eva, Vasil'ev, Nemkova, et al, 2022), with more diagnostic characters based on well-preserved specimens. This study will provide more information for future conservation management of the hemicultrine group and serve as a foundation for their future systematic and evolutionary research.…”

The hemicultrine fishes are a group of small‐sized cyprinids, widely distributed but endemic to East Asian rivers and lakes. Till now, the taxonomic boundaries and relationships within this group remain poorly explored. In the present study, we study the phylogeny of this group, providing suggestions for classification of the hemicultrine group. Using two mitochondrial and three nuclear genes, and samples representing all genera, our results showed that the group consists of seven major lineages, of which four (Hemiculterella, Hainania, Pseudolaubuca, and Anabarilius) were monophyletic and three (Hemiculter, Toxabramis, and Pseudohemiculter) were not. Based on the phylogenetic tree, we redefined the genera. We revive the genus Siniichthys, which has three species, Siniichthys bleekeri, Siniichthys lucidus, and S. varpachovskii, that were previously treated as members of the genus Hemiculter but showed distant relationships to the genus Hemiculter in our phylogenetic tree. With the new results, a diagnostic key for clades of the hemicultrine group is provided. Furthermore, we provide more detailed information on diagnostic features of the recently described species Hemiculter yungaoi (Vasil'eva et al., 2022). This work will facilitate future systematic studies, pave the way for evolutionary studies, and provide valuable information for the urgent conservation of hemicultrine fishes.
