Anabarilius maculatus is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies.[3][1][2] It is endemic to the Nan Pan Jiang basin in Yunnan, southern China. It is threatened by invasive non-native species, domestic and urban waste water, agricultural pollution and dams. The species has not been studied well, and therefore is ranked as Data Deficient.[1] It grows to 13.9 cm (5.5 in) standard length.[2]
