Pseudogobio fukiensis, 49 mm. standard length. Little compressed, flattened below anteriorly, head squarish; paired fins more or less in a horizontal plane; vent at about % the distance from ventral axil to anal origin. Top of head flat; orbital rim raised so that interorbital is slightly concave; eye placed high, slightly superolateral; a dent between nostrils and snout; mouth inferior, curved protractile downward; with thick papillose lips, free behind on the lower jaw, flaring at the corners; 2 enlarged broad flat papilla? at the chin, and 2 less enlarged ones corresponding to them on the upper lip; gill membranes joined to isthmus beneath the flap of the opercle, about under the edge of the preopercle. Dorsal and anal without spines; dorsal origin very slightly nearer anal axil than to end of snout; ventral origin under first third of dorsal base; pectoral reaching ventral origin; ventral % to anal.
