The identity of Batasio tengana (Hamilton, 1822), with the description of two new species of Batasio from northeastern India (Teleostei: Bagridae).Abstract
Batasio tengana is redescribed on the basis of fresh material and a neotype designated. Two new species are described: Batasio fasciolatus n. sp. is described from material previously identified as B. tengana from the Brahmaputra River drainage and can be distinguished from congeners in having a combination of five to six vertical dark brown bars on a light brown body, dorsal-spine length 13.6–16.8% standard length(LS), pectoral-spine length 12.7–14.3% LS, and eye diameter 16.5–18.8%head length (LH). Batasio spilurus n. sp. is described from the Brahmaputra River drainage in Assam and can be distinguished from congeners in having a short adipose-fin base (12.6–12.8 v. 14.5–33.3%LS) and more slender caudal peduncle (5.7–6.2 v. 6.7–11.8% LS).
