Abstract
A new species of glyptosternine catfish of the genus Exostoma is described from the Chakpi River, a tributary of the Chindwin-Irrawaddy drainage in northeastern India. The new species can be distinguished from congeners of the Chindwin-Irrawaddy drainage except E. chaudhurii and E. vinciguerrae in having an adipose fin confluent (vs. separate) with the upper procurrent caudal-fin rays. It differs from E. chaudhurii in having anastomosing, rounded (vs. parallel) striae on the anterolateral surfaces of the lips and from E. vinciguerrae in having shorter adipose-fin base (29.1–32.3% SL vs. 35.4–39.4). This is the sixth species of Exostoma known from the Chindwin-Irrawaddy drainage.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1913, Copeia is a highly respected international journal dedicated to the publication of high quality, original research papers on the behavior, conservation, ecology, genetics, morphology, evolution, physiology, systematics and taxonomy of extant and extinct fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. Copeia is published electronically and is available through BioOne. Articles are published online first, and print issues appear four times per year. In addition to research articles, Copeia publishes invited review papers, book reviews, and compiles virtual issues on topics of interest drawn from papers previously published in the journal.
