Eyespot rasbora ventral area of the body between the operculum and the pelvic fins (corresponding roughly to the sac enclosing the alimentary canal). Under conditions of reflectied light, the fish sometimes displays a fine lateral band from the opeculum to the end of the caudal peduncle (Walker, 1971, p. 98) this being an olive-gold hue. The fins, with the exception of the dorsal fin, are hyaline, the relation of the pectoral and pelvic fins being typical of the ostariophysans (fishes possessing an auxiliary mechanism for detecting sound consisting of a set of internal bones called the Weberian Ossicles). In such fishes, the
Yunnanilus macrogaster a short lateral line which has 6–10 pores and a line of pores on the head. The caudal peduncle is around 1.4 times as long as it is deep and its eyes have a diameter of slightly less than one fifth of the head length. It grows to a standard length of 63.2 mm. The body is yellowish with an irregular pattern of brown spots on its back and flanks with the dorsal surface of the head being darker and there is a dark patch on the operculum to the rear of the eye. The fins are hyaline and the
