6D8B658B0E5C9AEA8FAB7A6B8102CB87.taxon	discussion	Externally, erethistids are easily distinguished from sisorids by having a pectoral girdle with a long coracoid process that extends well beyond the base of the pectoral fin (Fig. 1). The process can be felt through the skin in all erethistids and is visible externally in all erethistids except some specimens of Pseudolaguvia. Sisorids lack a prominent coracoid process; when present, the process is only detectable as a small nub at the base of the pectoral fin. It is never long and prominent as in erethistids. Amblycipitids differ from erethistids in possessing a cuplike fold of skin in front of the pectoral fin, and a dorsal fin that is covered with thick skin and has only a weak spine. Erethistids lack a cuplike fold of skin in front of the pectoral fin, and have a dorsal fin with a strong spine and no thick covering of skin (de Pinna 1996). Akysids, including Parakysidae of Roberts, 1989, differ from erethistids in having the nostrils on each side of the head widely separated, with a barbel on the posterior nostril. Erethistids have nostrils close together, separated by a nasal barbel. Osteological traits distinguishing Amblycipitidae and Akysidae from erethistids are given by de Pinna (1996). Following are diagnoses and descriptions of valid genera of Erethistidae, with lists of included species and their geographic distributions. Genera are arranged alphabetically. Diagnostic traits are summarized in Table 2.	en	Alfred W. Thomson, Lawrence M. Page (2006): Genera of the Asian Catfish Families Sisoridae and Erethistidae (Teleostei: Siluriformes).

A9161A9B6D52670381AF9C0CDBD066CA.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Hora (1950) restricted Erethistes to “ forms in which the denticles on the outer edge of the pectoral spine are divergent ” and recognized Hara for species in which the denticles on the outer edge of the pectoral spine “ are pointed in one direction (backwards) ”. Kottelat (1983) described Erethistes maesotensis with denticles on the anterior edge of the pectoral spine “ being outwardly directed and not divergent, ” placing it in Erethistes because “ none of the differences between E. maestotensis and E. pusillus justify separating them at the generic level. ” We agree with the view that the direction of the denticles on the anterior edge of the pectoral spine is an insufficient characteristic on which to separate genera. We have found no other differences to justify recognizing Hara and place it in the synonymy of Erethistes. Ng & Kottelat (2005) synonymized Laguvia with Hara; both herein become synonyms of Erethistes. Generic assignments of species described in Laguvia are discussed by Ng & Kottelat (2005).	en	Alfred W.

0D18E966ABB5564EF5E3455598DD7FF7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: No thoracic adhesive apparatus; serrations on anterior margin of pectoral spine directed toward tip of spine distally and away proximally; slender body; smooth to granulate anterior margin on dorsal spine; moderate gill openings; papillate upper lip; 9 - 11 anal rays. Erethistoides is diagnosed from all other erethistids by having the anterior margin of the pectoral spine with serrations directed toward the tip of the spine distally and away from the tip proximally (Fig. 6 c). It is further distinguished from Erethistes by its more slender body (Fig. 7), from Ayarnangra by having 9 - 11 anal-fin rays (vs. 13 - 16), from Conta, Caelatoglanis and Pseudolaguvia by the absence of a thoracic adhesive apparatus and by having moderate gill openings (vs. narrow and restricted to the pectoral-fin base in Conta, and wide and nearly meeting on the venter in Caelatoglanis and Pseudolaguvia). It is further distinguished from Conta by having a smooth to granulate (vs. serrated) anterior margin on the dorsal spine, and from Caelatoglanis by having a papillate (vs. plicate) upper lip and a more slender body.	en	Alfred W.

0D18E966ABB5564EF5E3455598DD7FF7.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Ng (2005 c) questioned the utility of the pectoral spine morphology as a useful diagnostic character for Erethistoides, noting that some of the serrations on the anterior edge of the pectoral spine in some specimens of Erethistes filamentosa are directed toward the tip of the spine distally (as in Erethistoides). Additionally, he identified four apomorphies diagnosing Erethistoides: 1) neural spines of the first eight postWeberian vertebrae strongly depressed, inflated posteriorly, and depressed in a groove formed by the prezygapophyses of the vertebrae immediately posterior; 2) an enlarged maxilla that is almost as long as the palatine; 3) a fan-shaped mesethmoid lacking distinct cornua (shared with Ayarnangra); 4) a strongly overhanging snout with premaxillary tooth plate completely exposed when mouth is closed (shared with Ayarnangra).	en	Alfred W.

339904FE5107AAC477EDC37E2FC576E7.taxon	discussion	In contrast to erethistids, sisorids lack a prominent posterior coracoid process on the pectoral girdle. When present, the coracoid process is only detectable as a small nub at the base of the pectoral fin, and is never long and prominent as in erethistids. Amblycipitids differ from sisorids in possessing a cuplike fold of skin in front of the pectoral fin; sisorids lack the fold of skin. Akysids, including Parakysidae of Roberts, 1989 (de Pinna 1996), differ from sisorids in having the nostrils on each side of the head widely separated, and a barbel on each posterior nostril. Sisorids have nostrils close together, separated by a nasal barbel (except nasal barbel absent in Sisor, nostrils separated by a flap of skin). Osteological traits used by de Pinna (1996) to diagnose Sisoridae from other Asian catfishes included lateral ethmoid with narrow lateral extensions directed posteriorly alongside lateral margin of frontals (coded as missing in all Sisorini), extra cartilaginous element anterior to last basibranchial (reversed in Nangrina and Glyptosternina; convergent in Parakysinae and Luguviini, sensu de Pinna (1996 )), distal tip of os suspensorum closely linked and / or adpressed to ventral process of complex centrum, and posterior portion of Weberian lamina with lateral extension alongside anterior margin of parapophysis of fifth vertebra. Following are diagnoses and descriptions of valid genera of Sisoridae, with lists of included species and their geographic distributions. Diagnostic traits are summarized in Tables 3 - 7. In identifying external traits to diagnose genera, it is useful to start with the four major clades diagnosed by de Pinna (1996) (Table 3), and then to examine traits within each of these major clades (Tables 4 - 7).	en	Alfred W.

39DF1F8859B880743F749A78A4F28C4D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (based, in part, on Roberts 1983): Markedly heterodont teeth in lower jaw; branchiostegal membranes free from isthmus; anterior margin of pectoral-fin spine without serrations; well-developed maxillary barbel membrane; outer and inner mental barbels widely separated, origin of inner barbels anterior to origin of outer barbels; short nasal barbels; palatal teeth absent. Bagarius is distinguished from all other genera in Sisorinae by having markedly heterodont teeth in the lower jaw. Teeth are present in two or three outer rows of relatively numerous, close-set conical teeth, and one or two inner rows of less numerous, widely separated, and much larger conical teeth (vs. dentition of the lower jaw consisting of only small conical teeth, or a roughened bony plate). Bagarius is further distinguished from Gagata by having the branchiostegal membranes free from the isthmus (vs. broadly fused to the isthmus), by having a well-developed maxillary barbel membrane (vs. not welldeveloped), and by having the outer and inner mental barbels widely separated, origin of inner barbels anterior to origin of outer barbels (vs. outer and inner mental barbels close together with their origins nearly parallel, in a transverse line). Bagarius is further distinguished from Nangra by having very short nasal barbels (length less then eye diameter vs. much greater then eye diameter, often as long as head), having shorter maxillary barbels (reaching slightly past pectoral-fin base vs. reaching to at least pelvic-fin base) and lacking palatal teeth. Bagarius is further distinguished from Gogangra by having a well-developed maxillary barbel membrane (vs. maxillary barbel membrane not well-developed) and by lacking serrations on the anterior margin of the pectoral spine (vs. having small serrations). Bagarius is further distinguished from Sisor by having gill openings wide and branchiostegal membranes free from isthmus (vs. gill openings moderate and branchiostegal membranes broadly fused to isthmus), serrations absent on the anterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine (vs. serrations present on both anterior and posterior margins of the pectoral-fin spine), by lacking a series of bony plates on the dorsum, by lacking a spine in the adipose fin, the uppermost caudal-fin ray not greatly elongated (vs. greatly elongated, more than half the length of the body), and by having the origin of the inner mental barbels anterior (vs. posterior) to the origin of the outer mental barbels.	en	Alfred W.

4F4446DF82FA18BAA349223B6B677446.taxon	distribution	Distribution: Roberts (1983) reported this species from the Ganges, Chao Phrya and Mekong drainages and noted its possible occurrence in the Malay Peninsula. Prior to Robert’s paper, nearly all references to Bagarius bagarius were based on, at least in part, one or more of the other Bagarius species. Since Robert’s paper, this species has been reliably reported from the Malay Peninsula and the Salween and Mae Klong drainages (Kottelat, 1989; Talwar & Jingran, 1991). It has also been reported from the Brahmaputra drainage (Mamnur Rashid et al., 1997; Karmakar, 2000) and Irrawaddy drainages (Vishwanath et al., 1998; Keishing & Vishwanath, 1999).

BB1BE4CEF5BF4512E95A51404BFF04D9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Series of bony plates extending from dorsal fin to base of caudal fin; spine in adipose fin; uppermost caudal-fin ray long, more than half length of body; branchiostegal membranes broadly fused to isthmus; outer and inner mental barbels widely separated, with origin of outer barbels anterior to origin of inner barbels; minute teeth in lower jaw, dentition essentially consisting of roughened plate; large serrations on anterior margin of pectoral spine; well-developed maxillary barbel membrane; palatal teeth absent. Sisor is distinguished from erethistids and all other sisorids by having a series of bony plates extending from the dorsal fin to the base of the caudal fin, and an adipose fin with a spine. It is distinguished from all other Sisorinae by having the uppermost caudal-fin ray long (vs. short), more than half the length of the body; outer and inner mental barbels widely separated, with the origin of the outer barbels anterior to the origin of the inner barbels (vs. nearly in a straight line in Gagata, origin of inner mental barbels anterior to origin of outer mental barbels in Bagarius and Gogangra, and either nearly in a straight line or origin of inner mental barbels anterior to origin of outer mental barbels in Nangra), by having minute teeth in the lower jaw (dentition essentially consisting of a roughened plate vs. teeth of the lower jaw markedly heterodont in Bagarius, and small and conical in Gagata, Gogangra, and Nangra), and by having large serrations on the anterior margin of the pectoral spine (vs. no serrations in Bagarius, Gagata, and Nangra, and small serrations in Gogangra). Sisor is further distinguished from Bagarius, Gogangra and Nangra by having the branchiostegal membranes broadly fused to the isthmus (vs. free from the isthmus). Sisor is further distinguished from Gagata and Gogangra by having a well-developed maxillary barbel membrane, and from Nangra by its lack of palatal teeth and short maxillary barbel not reaching the pectoral-fin base (vs. barbel reaching to at least the pelvic-fin base).	en	Alfred W.

D7B691FB7156D1F66A85B7EA36ABD974.taxon	diagnosis	Glyptosternina is distinguished from other clades of sisorids by the combination of no adhesive apparatus on the thorax and the presence of plaited adhesive organs on the paired fins (Fig. 15). Osteological traits used by de Pinna (1996) to diagnose Glyptosternina include maxilla dorsoventrally flat and strongly expanded distally; interopercle narrow and elongate, its laminar portion reduced; proximal pectoral radials 2 and 3 flared at distal tip; and external arm of basipterygium abruptly expanded distally. He (1996 b), using mostly osteological characters, found Glyptosternina to be a monophyletic group defined by the following 12 apomorphies: 1) Posterior tip of lateral ethmoid prolonged and extended to the margin of the cranium. 2) Anterior part of frontal very narrow, its width far smaller than that of the posterior part. 3) Tooth band in upper jaw narrow, without posterolateral extensions (plesiomorphic in Glyptosternon and Euchiloglanis). 4) Articular very short and small, wedge-like, attaching to the posterior end of the dentary (plesiomorphic in Exostoma and Glaridoglanis). 5) Autopalatine enormously developed, broad, strong and spatulate at both ends. 6) Interoperculum long and thin, as long as the length from the anterior tip of the dentary to its posterior end). 7) Dorsal neural spine of the 4 th vertebra undeveloped, plate-like, single, not connected to the proximal radial of the dorsal fin; no distinction between the 4 th neural spine and the bony ridge of the skull. 8) Absence of an arch on the ventral side of the abdominal vertebra centrum (plesiomorphic in Glyptosternon, Glaridoglanis, Exostoma, Pareuchiloglanis sinensis and P. anteanalis). 9) Post-haemapophysis of the 5 th vertebra developed. 10) 5 th parapophysis undeveloped and far shorter than the 4 th parapophysis. 11) Pectoral spine soft and enveloped in the skin of the fin. 12) 2 nd proximal of dorsal fin without wide lateral process.	en	Alfred W.

D7B691FB7156D1F66A85B7EA36ABD974.taxon	discussion	Following the review of published data and the examination of specimens, we recognize nine genera of Glyptosternina. Traits used to diagnose these genera include the development of the post-labial grove on the lower jaw (Fig. 17), the degree to which the gill openings extend onto the venter, dentition of the upper and lower jaws, and the number of branched pectoral rays (Tables 5 - 7). In Table 5, genera are separated into three phenetic groups based on the development of the post-labial groove. In Table 6, characters are given to differentiate genera with an interrupted post-labial groove on the lower jaw, and in Table 7, characters are used to differentiate genera with a continuous post-labial groove on the lower jaw. Although these traits may result in the over-splitting of Glyptosternina genera, they do successfully diagnose the genera currently recognized by most authors. However, it should be noted that He (1996 b) concluded that Pareuchiloglanis, as currently defined, is monophyletic only when species currently assigned to Pseudexostoma and Oreoglanis are included.	en	Alfred W.

E5755B8C4B6301CBD8A9B2A3904157A4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Continuous post-labial groove; gill openings not extending onto venter; heterodont dentition in both jaws; outer teeth shovel-shaped and sparsely arranged in one or two rows, inner teeth conical and numerous; tooth patches separated in upper jaw; 16 - 18 branched pectoral rays. Pseudexostoma is distinguished from Glyptosternon, Glaridoglanis, Euchiloglanis, Pareuchiloglanis and Parachiloglanis by having a continuous post-labial groove (Table 5). Pseudexostoma is distinguished from Myersglanis, Exostoma, Oreoglanis by having heterodont dentition in the upper jaw (vs. homodont = pointed in Myersglanis and Oreoglanis, and homodont = oar-shaped in Exostoma), and from Myersglanis and Exostoma by having heterodont dentition in the lower jaw (vs. homodont = pointed in Myersglanis, and homodont = oar-shaped in Exostoma). It is further distinguished from Exostoma by having 16 - 18 (vs. 10 - 11) branched pectoral rays, and from Myersglanis and Oreoglanis by having tooth patches separated in the upper jaw.	en	Alfred W.
