New Glyptothorax

Post by Silurus »

Shangningam, B, L Kosygin, & SD Gurumayum, 2024. Glyptothorax zeiladensis, a new sisorid catfish species (Teleostei: Sisoridae) from Manipur, India. Records of the Zoological Survey of India, 124: 113–121.

Abstract

Glyptothorax zeiladensis, a new catfish, is described from the Barak-Surma-Meghna River drainage in Manipur, India. It differs from its congeners by a combination of characteristics: densely tuberculate skin on the body; an elliptical thoracic adhesive apparatus, almost enclosed posteriorly with skin ridges extending over the entire apparatus including the depressed region; anterior nuchal plate saddle-like with W-shaped extensions; nasal barbel not reaching the anterior margin of the eye; body with two longitudinal stripes; ventral surface of the pectoral-fin spine with reticulated skin ridges and absence of plicae on the ventral surfaces of the first pelvic-fin ray.

For some reason, the doi.org web link isn't working. I had to use the journal URL to get the paper:
