New Glyptothorax

Post by Silurus »

Ng, HH & M Kottelat, 2023. Glyptothorax prionotos, a new sisorid catfish from Myanmar and Thailand (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Sisoridae). Journal of Natural History 57: 1331–1345.

Abstract

, a new species of sisorid catfish from the Salween drainage in southern Myanmar and western Thailand, is described. It differs from its Indochinese congeners by a combination of colour pattern, thoracic adhesive apparatus morphology, dorsal spine morphology, and morphometry (with particular regards to the head, body depth, adipose and caudal fins, and caudal peduncle). The taxonomic status and identity of G. chavomensis is also briefly discussed.
