Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 12; Anal soft rays: 13; Vertebrae: 37. Distinguished from other species of Glyptothorax in the Indian subcontinent except for G. ater, G. brevipinnis, G. churamanii, G. jayarami, G. nelsoni, G. pantherinus, G. pectinopterus, G. radiolus and G. saisii in having (vs. lacking) a prominently plicate ventral surface of the pectoral-fin spine and the first pelvic-fin ray. Can be separated from G. ater, G. brevipinnis, G. churamanii, G. jayarami, G. nelsoni, G. pantherinus, G. pectinopterus, G. radiolus and G. saisii in having the following combination of characters: snout length 51.8-54.7% HL, wedge-shaped central depression in thoracic adhesive apparatus devoid of skin ridges, pectoral-fin length 18.7-23.8% SL, plicae on ventral surfaces of pectoral-fin spine continuous, dorsal-fin spine length 10.3-15.7% SL, dorsal-to adipose distance 24.9-27.9% SL, body depth at anus 11.0-14.7% SL, adipose-fin base length 10.7-13.5% SL, caudal-peduncle length 18.4-20.7% SL, caudal-peduncle depth 6.8-8.6% SL (1.6-1.9 times in body depth at anus), and distinct pale midlateral stripe on body (Ref. 93805).

Inhabits mountain rapids (Ref. 41236).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00284 - 0.02223), b=3.08 (2.84 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
