Abstract

Glyptothorax bhurainu sp. nov. and Glyptothorax himalaicus sp. nov. are described from the Ganges River basin in Uttarakhand, India. The two new species can be distinguished from all congeners by a combination of characters including the presence of plicae on ventral surfaces of pectoral spine and first pelvic-fin ray, morphology of the thoracic adhesive apparatus and dorsal-fin spine, and distinct colour pattern. Glyptothorax dakpathari is revalidated based on examination of the type series.

All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds.
