Sinobdella sinensis is a species of the spiny eel family (order Synbranchiformes), and is the only species of the genus Sinobdella.[2][3]

The placement of this genus has been debated. It is placed in Mastacembelidae as the sister group to the rest of the family. This species has been placed as a member of the family Chaudhuriidae, but the evidence for this relationship is not strong.[4]

This fish is a subtropical species[3] found in rivers in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.[1] It can grow to 19 cm (7.5 in) TL.[3] It inhabits rivers, feeding on larvae, insects, worms and crustaceans.[1]
