Zuojiangia is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, the family which also includes the carps, barbs, minnows and related fishes.[2] The only species in this genus is Zuojiangia jingxiensis which was first formally described in 2018, and was collected from a type locality given as the outlet of a karst cave and a small, connected unnamed stream in the drainage of the Zuojiang River, a tributary of the Pearl River at Biaoliang Village in Lutong Town in Jingxi County, Guangxi Province. The type locality was destroyed in 2013.[3]
