Oreinus (subgenus of Barbus) McClelland [J.] 1838:946 Masc. Barbus (Oreinus) guttatus McClelland 1838. Type by subsequent designation. See Kullander et al. 1999:114 [ref. 23689] for information on the type species of Oreinus and Schizothorax that differs from information here; they also address the dating of Oreinus relative to Schizothorax. Also in McClelland 1839:273 [ref. 2923]. Earliest type designation possibly Bleeker 1863:196 and 1863:26. Misspelled Oreina by Gistel 1848:X [ref. 1822]. Englottogaster Gistel 1848:X is an unneeded replacement, Oreinus not preoccupied by Orena. Although senior to Schizothorax we prefer to use the latter genus as very frequently used by authors. •Valid as Oreinus McClelland 1838 -- (Malik 1966:125 [ref. 23693], Kottelat 2013:133 [ref. 32989]). •Synonym of Schizothorax Heckel 1838 -- (Tsao 1964:139 [ref. 13501], Jayaram 1981:67 [ref. 6497], Tilak 1987:47 [ref. 23969], Mo in Chu & Chen 1989:287 [ref. 13584], Wu & Wu 1992:389 [ref. 21205], Chen & Cao in Yue et al. 2000:275 [ref. 25272]).
