Schizopygopsis stewartii Lloyd, 1908 Gymnocypris stewartii (Lloyd, 1908) Oxygymnocypris is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, the family which includes the carps, barbs and related fishes.

[3] Oxygymnocypris stewartii inhabits the deeper areas of clear, fast-flowing rivers with a rocky substrate.

[1] It is a generalized and opportunistic predator feeding both on fish and aquatic insects.

Smaller specimens feed mostly on cobitid nemacheilid loaches and caddisflies of family Hydropsychidae, whereas larger individuals switch more towards cyprinid fishes and chironomid larvae.

Insects are more important in winter and spring, and fishes in summer and autumn.
