– Celestichthys margaritatus, a new genus and species of Danioinae, is described from a rapidly developing locality in the Salween basin about 70–80 km northeast of Inle Lake in northern Myanmar. Males and females are strikingly colouful. It is apparently most closely related to two danioins endemic to Inle, Microrasbora rubescens and “Microrasbora” erythromicron. The latter species may be congeneric with the new species. The new genus is identified as a danioin by specializations on its lower…

The phylogenetic comparison to determine the systematic position of Paedocypris among cyprinids reveals that it shares not only a number of unique absences, but also highly unusual progressive characters with Sundadanio and Danionella, two other Asian miniature cypr inids, and hypothesize that the three genera form a monophyletic group.

It is shown that Danio, as recognized until now, is paraphyletic, and the well-known genus Brachydanio becomes a junior synonym of Danio (sensu stricto), and the phylogenetic relationships of small Danio-like species Sundadanio axelrodi, Danionella translucida, Danio erythromicron, and Microrasbora rubescens remain unresolved.

The results suggest an alternative model in which evolutionary changes in pigment cell interactions themselves have contributed to stripe loss, and identify changes in cellular interactions as a likely mechanism of evolutionary change in Danio pigment patterns.

Analysis of phylogenetic relationships of danio fishes and the phenotypes of interspecific hybrids support a model in which pigment pattern differences between D. rerio and other species result from gain-of-function alleles in D. Rerio, or loss- of-functionalleles in other danios.
