Shangningam, B & L Kosygin, 2023. Glyptothorax primusplicae, a new species of rheophilic catfish (Teleostei: Sisoridae) from the Chindwin basin, Manipur, Journal of Natural History, 57: 1598–1609.
Abstract
Glyptothorax primusplicae, sp. n., is described from the Pamtujang River, a tributary of the Chakpi River, Chindwin basin in Manipur, India. It is diagnosable by the following combination of characteristics: the presence of plicae on the ventral surface of the pectoral-fin spine and on the first pelvic-fin ray; the dorsal fin located nearer to the tip of the snout than to the adipose fin origin; a nasal barbel reaching the anterior margin of the orbit and the presence of three stripes on the body. This species is the first possessing plicae on the paired fins in the Chindwin-Irrawaddy River drainage.
