Oreonectes retrodorsalis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Oreonectes. This cavefish is found only in Guangxi in China.[2] Some authotities places this species in the genus Yunnanilus.[3] The specific name is a compound of the Latin words retro meaning back or past and dorsalis meaning "the back", referring to the placement of the dorsal fin closer to base of the caudal fin than to the tip of snout.[4]
