A review of the catfish genus Hara, with the description of four new species (Siluriformes: Erethistidae). – “Species of the erethistid catfish genus Hara are reviewed in this study. Eight species are recognized: Hara filamentosa, H. hara, H. horai, H. jerdoni, H. longissima, H. mesembrina, H. minuscula, and H. spinulus, of which the latter four are described as new herein. Erethistes maesotensis is a junior synonym of Hara filamentosa, and H. saharsai and H. serrata junior synonyms of H. hara. A neotype is designated for H. filamentosa Blyth, 1860 and a lectotype is designated for Hara horai Misra, 1976.”

Rais,

I'd suggest that posting, some time after publication, the abstract from a paper already noted isn't really necessary. One of the moderator team has deleted several such posts from the "venomous catfishes" thread. Although not specifically defined anywhere, the general purpose of this forum is to report new publications.

You are also likely not aware that the forum user Silurus is Heok Hee Ng, so your posts are also a superfluous from that point of view too - although I accept you weren't to know.
