The eyed side has two eye-like dark spots on the lateral line. Numerous greenish-white cloudy spots are visible in live. The teeth on the lower jaw are 10–12. On blind side if the straight part of the lateral line extended forward, it passes well above upper eye. Total vertebrae: 34–35. The details of body ratio and morpho-meristic counts are given in (Table 1–2).</p><p>Colour: The whole body is creamy brown in colour. The blind side of the body is white in colour. There are two dark, eye-like black spots on the eyed side lateral line. One is just at the junction of curved and straight part of LL, and the other one is just at the one-third portion of the body on the upper edge of lateral line. There are numerous cloudy spots on the eyed side, which colour varies from light green to dark whitish. This colouration changes after 2 to 3 hours of death or preservation. A few black small melanophores are visible in whole body and as well as in dorsal, anal, caudal and pectoral fins.</p><p>Distribution: The species is distributed in India and Bangladesh. All other reports need to be reverified for species confirmation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8716855DAE7A8E5113F5863CDE81149C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Thus, the specific epithet is coined as bahudaensis .</p><p>Diagnosis: The species can be diagnosed by having lateral line on both sides; ctenoid scales on the eyed side and cycloid scales on the blind side. The eyed side has two eye-like dark spots on the lateral line. Numerous greenish-white cloudy spots are visible in live condition. The teeth on lower jaw are 6–10 on blind side. The straight part of the lateral line extended forward; it passes through the upper eye. Total vertebrae: 36–37.</p><p>Description: Dorsal head profile notched in front of upper eye; ventral head profile with two clear knobs: one below symphysis and the other, behind the angle of mouth at mandible end where preopercle joins; both eyes are clearly separated by a narrow gap; the eyed side with ctenoid scales and the blind side with cycloid scales; two to four pairs of canine teeth present in upper jaw; teeth of upper jaw in close set; the lower jaw teeth with spaces and about 6–10; the maxilla reaches almost posterior edge of eye; body depth almost twice in the standard length 1.9–2.0 in SL; pre dorsal length 14.4–14.9 in SL; pre anal length 3.1–3.6 in SL; head length 3.1–3.6 in SL; gill rackers in lower arm 8–9 and in upper arm 4; dorsal fin rays 72–76; anal fin rays 56–57; pectoral fin rays on ocular side 12–13 and in blind side 11–12; pre-opercular scales 11–12; lateral line scales 74–81; total vertebrae 36–37. Details of body ratio and morpho-meristic are given in (Table 1–2).</p><p>Colouration: The colouration of the species is quite similar to that of P. arsius . Abundant small melanophores are also visible in the eyed side along with dorsal, anal, caudal and pectoral fins.</p><p>Distribution: The species is distributed in the western Bay of Bengal. But from the whole study, it seems probable distribution in the Indo-Pacific region, but it can only be ascertained after the physical verification of those specimens.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8716855DAE7D8E5413F58415DE1214E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
