Distinguished from congeners except for Pseudomystus heokkuii (from Sumatra) in having a color pattern consisting of a pale midlateral stripe and two pale oblique bands on the sides of the body. Differs from P. heokhuii in having a shorter adipose-fin base (14.2-17.7% SL vs. 18.2-22.8), more slender caudal peduncle (7.3-8.9% SL vs.8.8-10.5), wider head (24.4-26.2% SL vs. 21.7-23.8) and larger eye (11.2-14.7% HL vs. 8.5-10.7) and a slightly convex (vs. evenly sloping or slightly concave) predorsal profile (Ref. 83674). |
