Ng, HH, 2004. Oreoglanis macronemus, a new species of glyptosternine catfish (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Sisoridae) from Northern Laos. The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology, 52: 209-213.
Abstract
Oreoglanis macronemus new species, is described from the Xieng Khouang Plateau (Plain of Jars) in northern Laos. It belongs to the O. delacouri species group (sensu Ng & Rainboth), which consist of species with a lower lip lacking a median notch and with prominent projections along the posterior margin, as well as a lunate caudal fin with extensions of the outermost principal caudal rays. Oreoglanis macronemus can be distinguished from other members of the O. delacouri species group in having a short caudal peduncle (15.6â??17.3% SL) and very long nasal barbels (35.4â??41.7% HL).
