Silurus burmanensis Thant 1967: 250 mm SL specimen used in the redescription (top) and second specimen which wasn't preserved (bottom)
Silurus burmanensis Thant 1967 has just been redescribed based on a single specimen collected from Lake Inle, Myanmar. It's been considered a member of both Pterocryptis and Silurichthys over the last 20 years but this return to the original placement means it's now the most southwesterly-distributed member of the genus known in Asia.
