Evolutionary relationships of Fish Lake Valley Tui Chub <i>Siphateles obesus</i> ssp. (Teleostei, Cypriniformes, Leuciscidae) and a new genus of leuciscid minnows from the Alvord Basin, western United States.

ABSTRACT: The Tui Chubs, Siphateles spp., are found widely across the Great Basin and in some adjacent regions. Nearly all diversity of Siphateles has been consolidated under the name S. bicolor and there are numerous isolated populations of Tui Chubs of uncertain taxonomic standing and therefore unclear conservation priority. The Fish Lake Valley Tui Chub (FLVTC) has been recognized informally as S. bicolor ssp. 4 with a limited natural distribution in Fish Lake Valley in southwest Nevada. Considering that a rigorous examination of the phylogenetic relationships of the FLVTC and other Tui Chubs has not been conducted, the FLVTC is placed in a taxonomic framework by first applying a species delimitation method to S. bicolor sensu lato using mitochondrial data and t
