Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Practical fishkeeping magazine has just alerted me to this new development in which no less than ELEVEN new Loach species have been described! The new species, all Balitorines or Hillstream Loaches, are: Barbatula germencica Barbatula bergamensis Barbatula cinica Barbatula mediterraneus Barbatula phoxinoides Barbatula paucllepis Barbatula erdali Seminemacheilus ispartensis Schistura ceyhanensis Schistura seyhanicola Schistura evreni And, I found the scientific paper describing them here for you all to read.

I've printed off the paper for further study and to include in my library. It's still amazes me the number of new and previously unnamed and undiscovered species there are.
