Dorsal spines (total):
2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 13 - 15 . The bagrid
catfish genus Tachysurus (known until very recently in
the literature as Pelteobagrus or Pseudobagrus)
is among the most speciose catfish groups in East Asia, with at
least 31 valid species (Ng &Freyhof; Ng & Kottelat, 2007;
Cheng et al., 2008). Its members inhabit habitats ranging from fast-flowing
hillstreams to large rivers, and are diagnosed by an extrascapular
without a laterosensory canal, and a pterotic with a broad lateral
laminar expansion (Mo, 1991). |
