Anabarilius macrolepis is an extinct species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies.
[3] This species was endemic to Yilong Lake in Yunnan, China.
It is believed that it became extinct when Yilong Lake dried up in 1981, as a result of water abstraction for agriculture.
The species was not observed in 1983–84, and was declared extinct in 2011.
