Aphyocypris moltrechti

Pararasbora moltrechti Regan, 1908 Aphyocypris moltrechti, Moltrecht's minnow, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies.

It was formerly considered to be the only species in the genus Pararasbora.

The Endemic Species Research Institute[3] under the Council of Agriculture[4] of the Executive Yuan in Taiwan has enlisted Aphyocypris moltrechti as "precious and rare species" among other endemic freshwater species.

[5] Named in honor of physician-entomologist Arnold Moltrecht (1873–1952), who collected the type specimen.

[6] Aphyocypris moltrechti is distributed in the middle portion of western Taiwan, where they can be found in Tachia River and Tatu River.
