Glyptothorax conirostre (Steindachner 1867)
Glyptosternum conirostre Steindachner 1867
: 532 [16], pl. 6 (fig. 2).
Type locality: Simla [Ganges drainage]
,
Himachal Pradesh
, nw.
India
.
Holotype: not found at NMW.
Distribution: Ganges drainage, India (Ng, 2005a).
Remarks: Nearly all refereces of this species since the original description appear to be based on a species that does not have the outermost rays of the pectoral fins plaited and modified to form an adhesive apparatus; however, Steindachner’s original description clearly indicates this condition in the species. Reports of this species from the Indus drainage are referable to
Glyptothorax punjabensis
(Mirza & Kashmiri, 1971).
