 Barbus eurystomus
It is endemic to the Lake Malawi basin, including the larger inflowing rivers, which it ascends to spawn (Jackson, 1961).
eurystomus has longer barbels (the anterior one being on average 5.7%, the posterior 5.6%, of standard length, compared to 2.5% and 3.5%, respectively, in B.
eurystomus "which used to be common is now rare." The limited information available to Banister & Clarke from examination of stomach contents indicated that this Barbus feeds on an endemic, detritus-feeding Lake Malawi snail of sandy shores, which these authors referred to as Melanoides turritispira.

 THE RELATIONSHIPS AND EVOLUTION OF THE ROLLERS: FAMILIES CORACIIDAE, BRACHYPTERACIIDAE, AND LEPTOSOMATIDAE
Eurystomus With regard to general proportions, the skull of Eurystomus (see Figure 2) is quite unlike that of Coracias.
Thus the short, broad bill of Eurystomus is almost cer- tainly an adaptation for flycatching; the longer bill of Coracias is probably much better adapted for catching prey on the ground.
Eurysto.mus glaucurus, the only true roller on Madagascar, is clearly a late Pleistocene derivative from the same species in Africa.

One species, C. temmincki, seems to be peculiar to Celebes and the neighboring islands, but otherwise the rest are natives of the Ethiopian or Indian regions.
Allied to Coracias is the genus Eurystomus with some half-dozen species, of similar distribution, but one of them, E. pacijicus, has a wider range, for it inhabits Australia and reaches Tasmania.
Madagascar has four or five very remarkable forms which have often been considered to belong to the family Coraciidae; and, according to A. Mime-Edwards, no doubt should exist on that point.
