Abstract:
Various nomenclatural and taxonomic problems relating with fishes of Laos are reviewed. Barbichthys nitidus Sauvage, 1878 is treated as a junior synonym of B. laevis (Valenciennes, 1842). Crossochilus elongatus Pellegrin & Chevey, 1934 is a member of Onychostoma, not Acrossocheilus. Varicorhinus elongatus Fang, 1940 is a secondary junior homonym of C. elongatus and is replaced by Onychostoma fangi, new replacement name.

"The names Coius Hamilton (1822: 85, 369) and Coiidae have been given priority over Datnioides Bleeker (1853: 440) and Datnioididae by Roberts & Kottelat (1994) following Eschmeyer (1990:100) who considered that Fowler (1905: 504) had designated Coius polota Hamilton, 1822 as type species. As discussed by Kottelat (2000c) the type species of Coius is Coius cobojius Hamilton, 1822, which makes Coius a junior subjective synonym of Anabas Cloquet, 1816. Datnioides is thus the valid name for this genus."
