Abstract
We describe Olyra praestigiosa, a new anguilliform bagrid catfish,
from the Brahmaputra River drainage in Bangladesh and northeastern
India. The new species differs from congeners in having the following
unique combination of characters: interorbital distance 30–37% HL; body
depth at anus 6–9% SL; length of adipose-fin base 99–16% SL; adipose fin
separate from upper principal caudal-fin rays; post-adipose distance
15–18% SL; 17–22 anal-fin rays; caudal peduncle length 14–19% SL; and
caudal peduncle depth 6–8% SL.
Keywords: Pisces, New fish species, Brahmaputra River drainage
