The cyprinid genus Sinocyclocheilus is endemic to China with a distribution limited to various karst areas in Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Some are troglobites with typical adaptive characteristics for life in caves or underground waterbodies; and some are troglophiles which lack special adaptations to cavelife but nonetheless rely heavily on subterranean waters during their lifecycle.
