Pareuchiloglanis Phongthoensis
''Pareuchiloglanis'' is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia. These species are rheophile, rheophilic catfish chiefly found in the headwaters of major rivers in South and East Asia. They originate from the Brahmaputra River, Brahmaputra drainage in India, east and south to the Yangtze River, Yangtze drainage in China and the Annamese Cordillera drainages in southern Vietnam. Two species are known from the Mekong River: ''P. myzostoma'' and ''P. gracilicaudata''. Four species are known from the (upper Mekong River) drainage of China: ''P. abbreviatus'', ''P. gracilicaudata'', ''P. myzostoma'' and ''P. prolixdorsalis''. Taxonomy The monophyly of this genus remains doubtful. In 2007, a study rejected the monophyly of this genus. The premaxillary tooth bands in the catfish tribe Glyptosternina are important in identifying genera; in ''Pareuchiloglanis'', the tooth band is divided into two patches, appearing in two types. In one type, the premaxillary tooth patches appear separ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
