Isn't an unavailable name, given that its description exists only as a preprint posted 17 June 2025? Whoever that added it must have confused it with Y. eocenicus, which was described in 2018 and is not in the Cat-eLog.

Re: Hyalobagrus flavus - male & female interactions

Not sure if I’m seeing it right, but if the fish are swimming side by side and occasionally shuddering, I’ve seen this in a number of bagrids. Not sure if it’s an agonistic display or a prelude to spawning.
