Beardless barb Cyclocheilichthys apogon (Valenciennes, 1842) (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae): Distribution extension and first record from South Bali

Abstract

Beardless Barb Cyclocheilichthys apogon (Valenciennes, 1842) is a species known from Indonesia, including Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and Madura. This paper provides the first record of C. apogon in the Nyanyi River, one of the major rivers in South Bali, thereby extending the species distribution up to 100 km east from the earlier record. The specimens of C. apogon were characterized as follows: dorsal fin rays 12; anal fin rays 8–9; pectoral fin rays 17–18; lateral line scales 34–35. A description of detailed morfological characters of a specimen are provided.
