Nandidae (Asian leaffishes)
Etymology: Nandus: 'Nandus' is a Bengali local name, but it lacks a proper reference; ‘nanda’ is a Bengali fish name but probably for a different species (J. Müller, pers. comm., April 2021, after information from native speakers); andrewi: Named for Andrew Arunava Rao in recognition of his discovery of this new species and assistance during field work in India.
Eponymy: Andrew Arunava Rao is an ornamental-fish collector and breeder who owns and runs ‘Malabar Tropicals’. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Épines dorsales (Total) : 12 - 14; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 11 - 14; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 8. This species differs from its congeners by its pale bluish-white body color in life (vs. mottled brown); differs from Nandus nandus, the only South Asian congener, in having body depth 24.3-29.1% SL (vs. 28.2-34.3); pelvic fin length 16.2-18.9% SL (vs. 18.0-21.2); from Nandus nebulosus, Nandus oxyrhynchus and Nandus prolixus by the presence (vs. absence) of dark spot on the caudal peduncle, by having lateral line scales 45-52 (vs. 24-37) and body depth 24.3-29.1% SL (vs. 30.7-44.1) (Ref. 75197).
