A New Species of Grayling Thymallus svetovidovi sp. nova (Thymallidae) from the Yenisei Basin and Its Position in the Genus ThymallusAbstract
The Upper Yenisei grayling Thymallus svetovidovi sp. nova that inhabits the headwaters of the Yenisei River in Mongolia is described. From the other representatives of the genus Thymallus, the species differs in the elements of body coloration, dorsal fin pattern, some morphometric characters, and genetic characteristics. Besides this species, most of the Yenisei basin is inhabited by Baikal grayling T.baicalensis Dyb., and its low reaches, by the Arctic grayling T.arcticus (Pall.).
