コイ科魚類タイワンアカハラCandidia barbatus（Regan, 1908）の骨学的研究

抄録

The osteological description and illustrations of the cyprinid fish Candidia barbatus (Regan, 1908) from Kaohsiung County, Taiwan are provided for studies on fossil cyprinid fishes found in East Asia and Japan. As a result of this study, it was found that the dentary, opercle, urohyal and coracoid of C. barbatus are similar to those of the genus Nipponocypris. However, the parietal and infraorbital 5 of C. barbatus differ from those of the genus Nipponocypris. It is considered that these two morphological characteristics are typical of the genus Candidia.
