Abstract

We investigated the cephalic lateral line canal system of the golden venus chub, Hemigrammocypris rasborella. The cephalic lateral line canal system consists of the infraorbital canal (IOC), the preopercular canal (POC), the mandibular canal (MC), the supraorbital canal (SOC), the temporal canal (TC), and the supratemporal canal (STC), and is characterized by the following pedomorphic features: disjunction of IOC and SOC, of TC and POC, and of POC and MC. We also discuss the phylogenetic significance of the cephalic lateral line canal system of H. rasborella.
