Relevant Information: |
Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal
soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. Flat head, round
snout. Small eyes located in the middle of the head. Maxillary
barbel reached to pectoral fin, short nasal barbel reach only
to the eye. Nude body without scale, straight lateral line.
Yellowish in the pectoral and stomach. Three black spot in the
body, one under the dorsal fin, one under the adipose fin, and
the other near the base of the caudal fin. Glyptothorax
is distinguished from all other sisorid genera by having an
adhesive apparatus on the thorax with with grooves parallel
or oblique to the longitudinal axis of the body (vs. thoracic
adhesive grooves transverse to the longitudinal axis of the
body in Pseudecheneis, and thoracic adhesive apparatus
absent in all other genera). Remarks: Considered
a valid subspecies of Glyptothorax fokiensis by Li
(1984a) but a synonym of Glyptothorax fukiensis fukiensis
(= Glyptothorax fokiensis fokiensis) by Chu et al.
(1999). (Thomson & Page 2006) |
