Erethistid identities

Post by Silurus »

After looking at the erethistids recently collected from northern India, I think I have a handle on most of the names. Consequently there are some changes to be made in the Cat-eLog:

The first three pictures of Erethistidae sp. (1) are Erethistes pussillus, the last one is H. hara
Dinyar's and Rusty's picture of Hara hara appear to be Erethistes pussillus
Laguvia ribeiroi is an undescribed genus and species.
Pseudolaguvia sp. (1) is Pseudolaguvia ribeiroi

Any chance I could have updated ID description texts to supplements these IDs?

pectoral spines. the third photo is of the same fish that i had shown on erethistidae i.d.
which is a hara.. the first and second ones appear to also be hara..
