Leptobotia   citrauratea    (Nichols, 1925), a loach species, originally described from Dongting Lake, was recently rehabilitated, based on the examination of the holotype and non-topotypical specimens. Several field surveys conducted from 2016 to 2019 in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hunan Provinces, P.R. China, yielded many specimens of    Leptobotia    which were initially identified as    L.   citrauratea   . Molecular and morphological analyses of these specimens demonstrated that two distinct species are involved. One was identified as    L.   citrauratea   , represented by specimens from both the Poyang and Dongting Lake (type locality) systems in Jiangxi and Hunan Provinces, and the other species is described as    L.   brachycephala   , represented by specimens from the Ou-Jiang and Qu-Jiang, two coastal rivers of Zhejiang Province, China.    Leptobotia   brachycephala    resembles    L.   citrauratea    and    L.   micra    in having a row of orange dots or an orange stripe along the dorsal mid-line of the body, extending from the nape to the caudal-fin base – a unique character in    Leptobotia   .    Leptobotia   brachycephala    differs from    L.   citrauratea    and    L.   micra    Bohlen &amp; Šlechtová, 2017, in caudal-fin shape and pelvic-fin insertion and proportional measurements including caudal-fin length, head length, predorsal length and anal-fin length. Its species status was further corroborated by position in a molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on the mitochondrial  cyt b  gene and its minimum uncorrected p-distance (2.9%) from congeneric species.
