Description: Distinguished from congeners in having the following combination of characters: ventral surfaces of pectoral spine and first pelvic-fin ray with plicae, serrated posterior edge of dorsal-fin spine, thoracic adhesive apparatus completely encinctured by striae, length of dorsal-fin spine 13.7–16.1% SL, body depth at anus 17.1–19.6% SL, length of dorsal-fin base 12.0–13.1% SL, post-adipose distance 20.8–22.2% SL, head depth 16.5–17.0% SL and dorsal-to-adipose distance 21.8–23.5% SL. Habitat: From the tributaries of the Brahmaputra River in Nagaland, Northeast India. Aquarium Care: Maintaining them in the home aquarium needs utmost precision as they are sensitive to water parameter changes and cannot tolerate dissolved organic debris (Mishra, A. 2025). Etymology: The specific name sentimereni: Named after Sentimeren, son of the late collector Limaakum, who passed away before the study was completed. One of his last wishes was to see this fish described. |
