Crossocheilus atrilimes Kottelat, 2000

Crossocheilus atrilimes Kottelat 2000: 39 .

Material examined. Table 1; Figure 3d.

Crossocheilus atrilimes is characterized by the fol- lowing combination of characters: midlateral stripe extending to posterior border of median caudal-fin rays; 1 or 2 rows of faint dark spots along scale rows below lateral line; 1–1½ scale rows between anus and anal-fin origin; body depth at 23.8–26.4% of standard length (SL) and single pair of rostral barbels. Notwithstanding, C. langei , the most similar congener is differentiated from C. atrilimes by having eyes reddish-golden above the pupil and white below; 2 pairs of barbels; the lateral line is essentially straight and passes through the centre of the dark body stripe; the fins are brownish. Crossocheilus atrilimes and C. oblongus are sympatric, but C. oblongus inhabits swifts, rapids and torrents water, whereas C. atrilimes is found in slower water habitats ( Kottelat 2000).
