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.

摘要: 本文描述的较完整的花鳅Cobitis化石在我国尚属首次发现。花鳅属是花鳅亚科(Cobitinae)中较进步的鱼类,广布于欧洲、亚洲和非洲,已知化石则产自欧洲和亚洲的第三系。长胸鳍花鳅Cobitis longipectoralis sp. nov.的发现为探讨鳅科起源及其地理分布提供了新的资料。
