Teleostei (teleosts) > Siluriformes (Catfishes) > Bagridae (Bagrid catfishes)
Etymology: Pseudomystus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, mystax = whiskered, used by Belon in 1553 to describe all fishes with whiskers (Ref. 45335); funebris: The specific epithet comes from the Latin funebris, meaning "of a funeral". Being clothed in black is traditionally associated with funerals, and the name alludes to the blackwater habitat of this species (Ref. 83674).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7. 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).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00384 - 0.01800), b=2.95 (2.77 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
