Source-derived summary

Yunnanilus parvus is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Yunnanilus. The type locality of this species is given as Nan Tong, in Kaihuan County, Yunnan, China. However, when research was carried out to find these locations it was not possible to find the precise location of either place. It was described as being found in a cave outlet and feeding on detritus.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Yunnanilus parvus” as species of fish. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Yunnanilus, parvus and species.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current 67-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Yunnanilus, parvus and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Yunnanilus parvus”, the useful work is to connect “species of fish” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1040894. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
