Name
Engraulicypris Günther, 1894 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Engraulicypris Günther, 1894: 626 (type species: Engraulicypris pinguis Günther, 1894 (= Barilius sardella Günther, 1868: Lévêque and Daget 1984[1], Eschmeyer et al. 2016[2]))
- [[= Mesobola|= Mesobola]] Howes, 1984: 168 syn. n. (type species: Neobola brevianalis Boulenger, 1908)
Diagnosis
With the synonymisation of Mesobola and Engraulicypris, Günther’s (1894)[3] diagnosis of Engraulicypris must be modified to include the species assigned to Mesobola. Engraulicypris is a genus of moderately small African chedrin barbs (sensu Tang et al. 2010[4]; Liao et al. 2011[5], 2012[6]) identified by a lack of a scaly lobe at the base of the pelvic or pectoral fin; a large mouth reaching the anterior border of the orbit or beyond; a dorsal fin origin originating behind midpoint of standard length, more or less above the origin of the anal fin; a pectoral fin not reaching the origin of the anal fin; and body colouration lacking vertical bars or bands. Osteological characters are discussed by Liao et al. (2011[5], 2012[6]) for Mesobola and by Liao et al. (2012)[6] for Engraulicypris.
Live colouration

Etymology
Engraulicypris alludes to the anchovy-like form (eggraulis, -eos [eggraulis, -eos]; Greek) of these relatives of the carp (kyprinos [kyprinos]; Greek).
Distribution
Southern and Eastern Africa.
