Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 8. Schistura phamhringi can be diagnosed from all its congeners by the following
combination of characters: 6-7 black saddles, each continued on both flanks forming a broad diamond-shaped black bar with narrow ventral margins; bars superimposed on a grey stripe along lateral line; numerous melanophores arranged densely on the upper lip ; black basicaudal bar arc-shaped; complete lateral line; processus dentiformis broad; prominent oar-like suborbital flap in males (Ref. 95580).
Inhabits cool, clean, swift-flowing shaded freshwater streams which flow over a substrate of gravel, cobble and boulders. Topotypic specimens were collected from a stream among small pebbles in slow current. Occurs together with other fish species including Cyprinidae: Barilius ngawa, Devario acquipinnatus, Neolissochilus stracheyi, Poropuntius burtoni, Garra paralissorhynchus; Psilorhynchidae: Psilorhynchus ngathanu; Nemacheilidae: Schistura khugae, S. reticulata; Sisoridae: Glyptothorax granulus, G. ventrolineatus; Mastacembelidae: Mastacembelus armatus; and Channidae: Channa gachua (Ref. 95580).
