Abstract: To explore the plateau fish classification and evolution,the skull anatomy of Triplophysa yarkandensis(Day)from the Tarim River of Alar was investigated by conventional methods.Four sections were found in the brain of T.yarkandensis(Day)including olfatory region,orbital region,otic region,and occipital region.Among them,the olfatory region contains 4blocks,the orbital region contains 7blocks,the otic region contains 12pieces,and the occipital region contains 2blocks,which came to 25bones.Comparison was made between the skull of T.yarkandensis and other fishes.T.yarkandensis is similar to Cyprinidformes,and its wing skull bones in the pterotic moved forward,no basisphenoid,no exoccipital bone,with squamous bone degradation,and one pair of subtemporal fossas are smaller and shallow.T.yarkandensis(Day)has its own unique characteristics and evolution of the skeletal system.
