Abstract

Glyptothorax pantherinus, a new sisorid catfish species, is described from the Noa Dehing River of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: mottled skin; a well-developed obtuse leaf-shaped thoracic adhesive apparatus with no central depression, unculiferous ridges of the apparatus not extending anteriorly onto the gular region, and the ridges uninterrupted except for the posterior-most region; one bean-shaped cream-coloured spot on either side of the dorsal-fin origin; ventral surface of the simple rays of the paired fins are plaited marginally and distally.

As always, I'm interested if there is anything further on this.
