Post by Silurus »

Ng, HH & M Kottelat, 2012. Chaca serica, a new species of frogmouth catfish (Teleostei: Siluriformes) from southern Borneo. Zootaxa 3258: 37–45.

It can be distinguished from congeners in having the following combination of characters: the oral margin of the lower lip lacking (vs. having) a series of rugose ridges, presence of nasal barbels, presence of papillae around the eyes, a temporal fossa extending to the supraoccipital, 7–8 serrae on the anterior edge of the pectoral spine, four pectoral-fin rays, absence of a row of fimbriate skin flaps on the body dorsal to (and sometimes also ventral to) the lateral line, dorsal procurrent caudal-ray base 32.8–37.3% SL, and ventral procurrent caudal-ray base 16.0–19.2% SL.

It already has. Part of the type series was obtained from aquarium fish exporters working the region.

Many thanks for the images for the cat-elog. Added now including the great picture that shows an "aquarist friendly" difference in the inner lower lip.

Cheers,

Jools
