Anganthoibi, N & W Vishwanath, 2010. Pseudecheneis koladynae, a new sisorid catfish from Mizoram, India (Teleostei: Siluriformes). Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters 21: 199–204.
Abstract
Pseudecheneis koladynae, new species, is described from Koladyne River, Mizoram, India. It differs from its congeners by a unique combination of three isolated yellowish ovoid nuchal patches, one on mid dorsal line in front of dorsal-fin origin and two on either side, slightly behind; pelvic fin not reaching anal-fin origin; first dorsal-fin pterygiophore with a prominent bony spur on its antero-dorsal surface; and a short caudal peduncle.
