Subspecies
In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics ( morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two. Subspecies is abbreviated subsp. or ssp. and the singular and plural forms are the same ("the subspecies is" or "the subspecies are"). In zoology, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below that of species that can receive a name. In botany and mycology, under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, other infraspecific ranks, such as variety, may be named. In bacteriology and virology, under standard bacterial nomenclature and virus nomenclature, there are recommendations but not strict requirements for recognizing other important infraspecific ranks.

Labeobarbus Intermedius
''Labeobarbus intermedius'' is an East African ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. Like the closely related yellowfish, it is hexaploid. A large species, the maximum recorded standard length is nearly . This species has a subspecies named '' Labeobarbus intermedius intermedius''. Systematics and taxonomy The year of its first description – as ''Barbus intermedius'' – was for some time erroneously reported as 1837. ''L. intermedius'' was still placed by most modern authors in the " wastebin genus" ''Barbus'' by default, and the IUCN still does so until a thorough taxonomic revision of the African "barbs" is published. However, the species is increasingly being restored to the related yellowfish genus ''Labeobarbus'', which seems a much more appropriate placement. It is a close relative of ''Labeobarbus bynni'', another African "barb". No subspecies are recognized at present. The population from the Barino River basin invalidly described as ''L. i. aus ...

Labeobarbus
''Labeobarbus'' is a mid-sized ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa and especially southern Africa, but also in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. A common name, in particular for the southern species, is yellowfish. The scientific name refers to the fact that these large barbs remind of the fairly closely related "carps" in the genus '' Labeo'' in size and shape. As far as can be told, all ''Labeobarbus'' species are hexaploid.de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007), IUCN (2009) Systematics Like many other "barbs", it was long included in '' Barbus''. It appears to be a fairly close relative of the typical barbels and relatives – the genus ''Barbus'' proper –, but closer still to the large Near Eastern species nowadays separated in '' Carasobarbus''. ''Barbus'' has been split to account for the improved phylogenetic knowledge which indicated it was highly paraphyletic in its wide circumscription –, it ...
