Any clues?

It sorta reminds me of Austroglanis but the tail is too forked. Something from the Anchariidae?

This is not really a guessing game. I'm trying to figure out what exactly it is.

It's a sisorid, BTW (no, not Glyptothorax).

Shouldda been more clear HH - as it's you, i thought you were testing us with a new discovery that you knew what it was.

If it's a sisorid, i haven't got a clue as it's not similar to those i'm familiar with except Glyptothorax.....if there are half a dozen going spare though, i'll look after them for you

Interesting.
Looks something like a Pseudecheneis sp.?

the headshape looks a bit like Bagarius.

interesting, hope te read the positive ID soon!

edit: maybe ? although the tail seems to be far too long....

It's not a Pseudecheneis and the closest I can come to for now is a cross between Pseudolaguvia and Caelatoglanis.

New genera?

Remind s me of the B.Succhus for some strange reason. Any idea where these were collected/spotted HH???

Post by **Silurus** » 22 Mar 2009, 01:30

I'm not really at a liberty to divulge where this fish was collected. Suffice to say, it's not where you would expect either Pseudolaguvia or Caelatoglanis.

Does it have a thoracic adhesive apparatus? I know you aren't at liberty to say exactly where it is from but are you able to say which continent/country?

Post by **Silurus** » 23 Mar 2009, 13:21

It has an adhesive apparatus (no reason to compare it with the genera I mentioned otherwise).

This fish came from somewhere in South Asia, but as I already mentioned, not where one would expect either Caelatoglanis or Pseudolaguvia.

If from Borneo, I was wandering about Glyptosternum laak and Glyptosternum tiong of Popta, 1904 as the description of the pattern of one or all the types in Weber & de Beaufort matches the pattern in your image, but I see that you sorted this in 2008.

What about Glyptosternon nieuweenhuisi Vaillant, 1902? Has this been sorted out yet? I see Thomson & Page listed it as a Glyptothorax but did they check the types? Weber & de Beaufort listed this as a synonym of Glyptothorax major, along with the two species above, and they mention Vaillant's types and again the pattern seems to match your specimen. Obviously if not from Borneo then a non starter.

Post by **Silurus** » 23 Mar 2009, 21:42

All of the names you mention are of Glyptothorax species and I have already discounted it being one (although the color pattern is reminiscent of G. callopterus/G. nieuwenhuisi).

Also, Borneo is not in South Asia. This term refers to the Indian subcontinent+Myanmar.

Ahh, sorry I was thinking South East Asia, it was the bit about it being from somewhere where you wouldnt expect a Pseudolaguvia or Caelatoglanis from that threw me.

Any confirmations on what species this is HH????

Post by **Silurus** » 13 May 2009, 13:11

I concluded that it belonged to an unnamed genus and species.

Shovelnose · Post by **Shovelnose** » 13 May 2009, 13:20

Oh Ok. Just outta curiousity, where is it likely to be placed and also can you reveal where it was collected from now????

Shovelnose · Post by **Shovelnose** » 13 Mar 2010, 07:50

Any further news on this HH????

Post by **Silurus** » 13 Mar 2010, 09:17

We could not convince reviewers that it should be a separate genus, so it is being described as a new Pseudolaguvia.

Hi HH

Does this catfish come from river delta's or estuary's?
I was just thinking maybe it is similar in where it is found, like another sisorid
