New Erethistoides

Post by Silurus »

Ng, HH, 2006. Erethistoides infuscatus, a new species of catfish (Teleostei: Erethistidae) from South Asia. Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters 17: 281â??287.

Abstract

Erethistoides infuscatus, new species, is described from the Brahmaputra and Meghna River drainages in northeast India and Bangladesh. Erethistoides infuscatus differs from congeners in having a brown body with a few indistinct pale patches sometimes present (vs. body with alternating brown and cream vertical bands) and the serrations on the anterior edge of the pectoral spine always distally directed (vs. serrations proximally directed on proximal half and distally directed on distal half of spine), 31-33 (vs. 27-31 vertebrae), and a less strongly produced snout with the premaxillary teeth only partially exposed when the mouth is closed.
