Members of the genus Pseudolaguvia
are small erethistid catfishes inhabiting hill streams and large
rivers in the area bordered by the Ganges River drainage (northern
India) to the west and the Sittang River drainage (east-central
Myanmar) to the east. Pseudolaguvia ferruginea is from
the Brahmaputra River drainage in India and is distinguished from
other members of the genus in having a combination of a more slender,
elongate body (manifested as a smaller body depth at anus: 10.5-12.4%
standard length), length of dorsal-fin base 14.9-17.3% standard
length, length of dorsal spine 13.0-16.6% standard length, length
of pectoral spine 16.3-18.8% standard length, dorsal to adipose
distance 14.2-17.3% standard length, caudal peduncle depth 2.4-2.8
times in its length, head width 20.1-22.2% standard length, a smooth
front edge of the dorsal spine, and the thoracic adhesive apparatus
reaching to midway between the bases of the last pectoral-fin ray
and the first pelvic-fin ray. |
