Etymology: Oreoglanis: Greek, oreos = mountain+Greek, glanis = Latin, aurum = gold + Greek, glanis = a fish that can eat the bait without touching the hook; a cat fish (Ref. 45335); laciniosa: Named from the Latin adjective laciniosus, meaning cut according to a pattern, indented. This is in reference to the lobulate posterior margin of the lower lip, one diagnostic feature of this species..

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6 - 7; Anal soft rays: 5 - 7; Vertebrae: 35. Belongs to the Oreoglanis siamensis species group as it possesses a distinct median notch on the posterior margin of the lower lip. Can be distinguished from other members of the genus in having a combination of the following characters: short nasal barbel reaching to midway between its base and anterior orbital margin, maxillary barbel with rounded tip, lobulate projections on posterior margin of lower lip, snout length 56.4-63.0 % HL, interorbital distance 23.9-28.1 % HL, eye diameter 9.6-12.9 % HL, dorsal to adipose distance 14.4-16.0 % SL, adipose fin separate from upper procurrent caudal-fin rays, caudal peduncle length 21.7-27.1 % SL, caudal peduncle depth 3.5-4.1 % SL, caudal peduncle depth 5.55-7.53 times in its length, and emarginate caudal fin (Ref. 83406).

Occurs in rocky, fast-flowing streams (Ref. 83406).

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=0.00589 (0.00260 - 0.01333), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), 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).
