Eponymy: Dr Sunder Lal Hora (1896–1955) was a distinguished Indian ichthyologist and biologist who held a doctorate in science from both the Punjab University (1922) and Edinburgh University (1928), having studied for his master’s at the Government College, [...] Dr J P Joshua was an entomologist who was Professor of Zoology at Madras Christian College. He was Silas’ teacher and he led the entomological survey during which Silas collected the holotype. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00377 - 0.01751), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
