Synopsis by <B>Shane Linder</B>
A new lancer, <I>B. majusculus</I> is described from Indochina. This new species is similar to <I>B. macracanthus</I> and <I>B. vaillantii</I>. This is an attractive new lancer species from the Mekong. It can be differentiated from <I>B. macracanthus</I> by its larger adipose fin, deeper caudal peduncle, and more slender head. An import to dream about!
