Hemigrammocypris rasborella, the golden venus chub, [2] is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to the islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan. [3] It is found widely in lowland habitats, including ditches and ponds. [4] It is listed as endangered on the Japanese Red List. [5] H. rasborella is the only species in its genus, but there are significant genetic differences between some populations, comparable to those generally seen between closely related species. [6] It reaches up to 7 cm (2.8 in) in length, but typically is 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in). [7] It is a short-lived species that typically reaches an age of about one year. [4] It is listed as endangered in the Red List of Threatened Fishes of Japan. [8]
