Abstract

Glyptothorax zeiladensis, a new catfish, is described from the Barak-Surma-Meghna River drainage in Manipur, India. It differs from its congeners by a combination of characteristics: densely tuberculate skin on the body; an elliptical thoracic adhesive apparatus, almost enclosed posteriorly with skin ridges extending over the entire apparatus including the depressed region; anterior nuchal plate saddle-like with W-shaped extensions; nasal barbel not reaching the anterior margin of the eye; body with two longitudinal stripes; ventral surface of the pectoral-fin spine with reticulated skin ridges and absence of plicae on the ventral surfaces of the first pelvic-fin ray.
