5A238786DC7CFFE3FF7C202AFBB996E1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A species of short, stout Glyptothorax, with granulated skin; the dorsal profile is greatly arched anterior to the adipose fin; the dorsal spine is short and smooth, its length 5.1 – 8.9 % SL; the pectoralfin length is 16.8 – 21.9 % SL, the ventral surface of its first simple ray plaited; the adipose-fin base length is 22.1 – 27.3 % SL; the thoracic adhesive apparatus is chevron shaped, wider than long, the median ridges of the apparatus perpendicular to its base, slightly diverging laterally (Fig. 1 c), its base concave, open caudally, with a shallow depression at its posterior end followed by a small fold of skin.	en	Anganthoibi, N., Vishwanath, W.

5A238786DC7CFFE3FF7C202AFBB996E1.taxon	description	Description. See Table 1 for morphometric data. Body short, stout, compressed on caudal peduncle; dorsal profile rising evenly from tip of snout to dorsal-fin origin, slightly humped between occiput and dorsalfin origin, thereafter sloping slightly ventrad to end of caudal peduncle. Ventral profile flat, slightly concave up to ventral-fin origin, then sloping gently upward from end of pelvic-fin base to end of anal fin. Anus and urogenital openings located immediately anterior to anal-fin origin. Skin granular on dorsal and lateral surfaces of head and fin bases, becoming prominently wrinkled after fixation in 10 % formalin. Head greatly depressed; snout truncate; mouth subterminal, lips broad, fleshy. Upper lip continuing into maxillary barbel, supported by a flap of skin. Upper jaw longer than lower; teeth on upper jaw in a single broad patch, those on lower jaw in two distinct patches interrupted by a fold of skin originating from lower lip. Eyes small, oval. Thorax with a chevron-shaped adhesive apparatus with 11 – 16 ridges, medially perpendicular to its base, slightly divergent laterally. Base of apparatus concave, open caudally, with a shallow depression at its posterior end followed by a small fold of skin. Barbels in four pairs: nasal barbel arising from internarial septum, reaching up to posterior margin of eye when adpressed; maxillary barbel supported by a large flap of skin, extending up to end of pectoral-fin base; outer mandibular barbel longer than inner, reaching gill opening. Dorsal fin located closer to snout than to caudal-fin base, its posterior margin straight, bearing I, 6 rays. Dorsal spine short, weak, smooth, extending up to half of fin height. Pectoral fin with I, 6, i rays, extending slightly posterior to vertical through dorsal-fin origin, its spine broad, serrated anteriorly with 7 serrae. Ventral surface of spine plaited with 4 – 11 oblique plicae, regularly arranged proximally, becoming irregular distally. Pelvic fin with i, 3, i rays, extending slightly beyond vertical through adipose-fin origin, not reaching anal opening. Adipose fin long, its base 1.5 – 1.7 as long as that of dorsal fin, originating at vertical slightly in advance of anal fin origin. Anal fin with ii, 8 rays, its anterior margin straight or slightly convex, posterior margin straight. Caudal fin emarginate, with i, 7,8, i rays, appearing forked when wrinkled skin is folded. Occipital process in contact with first dorsal-fin pterygiophore. Vertebrae 20 + 15 = 35. Coloration. In 10 % formalin: dorsal and lateral surfaces of head and body dark grey, ventral portion anterior to pelvic-fin origin cream-colored. Dorsal, pectoral, pelvic and anal fins with brown base and hyaline distal margins. Caudal fin brown, with a dark grey band at base; tips of lobes hyaline. Adipose fin yellowish grey with white edge. Maxillary and nasal barbels dark grey dorsally, their ventral portions cream-colored. Mandibular barbels cream-colored.	en	Anganthoibi, N., Vishwanath, W.
