7AE77B429BEBC733B7C47F5ED0C5525D.taxon	description	Description. Morphometric data are listed in Table 1. Head and body moderately broad and very strongly depressed. Mouth and gape inferior, with broad and thin papillate lips. Lower lip with median notch, posterior margin entire. Postlabial groove on lower jaw present and uninterrupted. Jaw teeth pointed, in a large broad band with small median indentation and rounded ends on both sides of upper jaw. Teeth on lower jaw present in two, well-separated patches of roughly triangular shape and of two kinds: anterior teeth truncate-spatulate, inner face curved; posterior teeth pointed like those of upper jaw (Figure 2). Eyes small, dorsolaterally situated and subcutaneous. Gill openings extending to middle of pectoral fin base. Maxillary barbels flattened, with surrounding flap of skin and rounded tip; ventral surface with numerous plicae; posterior margin of maxillary barbel entire (Figure 3 D). Nasal barbel short, reaching about half the distance to eye. Dorsal fin without spine and with i, 5 (7) rays. Adipose fin with long base. Anal fin with i, 2 (7) rays. Caudal fin emarginate, with 6 / 6 (7) rays. Pelvic fin greatly enlarged, with convex distal margin and i, 5 (7) rays; first ray flattened, with numerous plicae on ventral surface; tip of pelvic fin surpassing anus, and anus at midpoint between posterior end of pelvic fin base and tip of pelvic fin. Pectoral fin greatly enlarged, without spine and with i, 16 (4) or i, 17 (3) rays; first ray flattened, with numerous plicae on ventral surface. Tip of pectoral fin reaching beyond pelvic fin origin; Vertebrae 25 + 15 = 40 (3), or 26 + 14 = 40 (1). Males with small genital papilla located immediately posterior to anus (Figure 4 A). Females with two flaps of skin on both sides of anus, and small genital papilla located in longitudinal groove immediately posterior to anus (Figure 4 B). Color. In life: brown on dorsal and lateral surfaces of head and body, light yellow on ventral region. Dorsal surfaces of head and body with series of small, light yellow patches: two ovoid patches on occipital region, elliptical patches on anterior and posterior bases of adipose fin. Ovoid patch on base of first dorsal fin ray absent, and elliptical patch on lateral surface of body below middle part of adipose fin base absent. Dorsal fin brown, dorsal surfaces of pectoral and pelvic fins brown, anal fin and ventral surfaces of pectoral and pelvic fins light yellow. Adipose fin light yellow. Caudal fin brown with two round, bright orange patches in middle. Pectoral fin base occasionally with round yellow patch on inner and outer anterior sides, respectively. Dorsal surface of barbels brown, ventral surface light yellow.	en	Chen, Xiao-Yong, Qin, Tao, Chen, Zhi-Ying (2017): Oreoglanishponkanensis, a new sisorid catfish from north Myanmar (Actinopterygii, Sisoridae).
