01Narrative
Schistura zonata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura from hill streams in Assam, India. Its exact distribution is unknown and there have been records of this species since the type specimens were collected. Some authorities include Nemacheilus mugah as a synonym of S. zonata, which in turn has been regarded as a synonym of Schistura scaturigina, but these views are not currently widely accepted.
No narrative description available for this taxon yet.
A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Schistura zonata has left across the world's sequence archives.

▸ drag or hover over the strip to read any position — letter and how much it varies
Violet ticks below the strip = positions where individuals differ; flat = the species' unchanging signature. 99% of positions are identical in every specimen.
Where individuals differ — all 4 variable positions, in barcode order
Each circle is a barcode variant; bigger = more specimens, colour = region. Lines join the most similar variants and the tick marks count the mutations between them — a tight cluster is one “dialect”, a long line a more divergent lineage. Click a circle to list its actual specimens.

The species whose COI barcode is most similar to this one — a quick “who is this most like”. The percentage is how much the barcode differs; it approximates, but is not, the full evolutionary tree.
