| Species Information | |
| Size | 35mm (1.4") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
| Identification | Members of the genus Pseudolaguvia are small erethistid catfishes inhabiting hill streams
and large rivers in the area bordered by the Ganges River drainage (northern India) to the
west and the Sittang River drainage (east-central Myanmar) to the east.
They can be distinguished from other sisorids by their small size,a combination
of a thoracic adhesive apparatus with a median depression and prominent postcoracoid processes.
Easily distinguished by its small size, presence of an adhesive thoracic apparatus and the presence of bony processes on the skull above the humeral region and on the scapular region below the pectoral-fin base. The last feature is more in common with genera of the family Erethistidae hence its current placement. |
