[[ Genus Pseudolaguvia View in CoL View at ENA   ZBK ]]

Pseudolaguvia tuberculata was originally described by Prashad and Mukerji (1929) in their monograph on the fishes of the Indawgyi area in Upper Myanmar, as a species of the genus Glyptothorax   ZBK . This new species was said to differ from other Glyptothorax   ZBK species in the presence of a humero-cubital and scapular process and thus resembled the genera Erethistes and Laguvia   ZBK more closely. Because of its unusual features, Misra (1976) erected the new genus Pseudolaguvia   ZBK to accommodate G. tuberculatus   ZBK . Pseudolaguvia   ZBK has since remained monotypic.

Recent collections of fishes obtained from Pathe Chaung, a little hill stream near Taungoo in southern Myanmar, revealed specimens of an undescribed species, which resembles Pseudolaguvia tuberculata and is described herein.
