Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Raggi anali molli: 8. Distinguished from all members of the Puntius filamentosus group sensu by having the following characters: unique color pattern of a black club-shaped blotch 1.5 scales high extending from the 12-13th lateral-line scales to the caudal-fin base; absence of any other body color pattern anterior to it (vs. presence in Puntius arulius, Puntius tambraparniei, Puntius srilankensis and Puntius exclamatio); and absence of a transverse black band near the tip of each caudal-fin lobe (vs. presence in Puntius assimilis and Puntius filamentosus) (Ref. 85075).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00516 - 0.02330), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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