Abstract: A New species of Cobitidae, Cobitis longipectoralis sp. nov. from the Middle Miocene Shanwang basin is described in this paper. Cobizis is a relatively advanced genus in cobitinae. When the living species of the genus are widely distributed in Europe, Asia and Africa, the fossil ones are only found in the Tertiary of Europe and Asia. Two pharyngeal teeth ( ? Cobi tidae) were discovered from the Eocene of the coastal regions of the Bohai Gulf, China, but a definite fossil cobitid with complete skeleton is first recorded for China.
