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

Members of the genus Pseudolaguvia   ZBK are small erethistid catfishes that resemble members of the sisorid catfish genus Glyptothorax   ZBK externally. The genus is only known from river drainages in the area bordered by the Ganges River drainage to the west and the Sittang River drainage to the east. Six species of Pseudolaguvia   ZBK are considered valid (Ng, 2005): P. ribeiroi (Hora , 1921), P. shawi (Hora , 1921), P. tuberculata (Prashad & Mukerji , 1929), P. kapuri (Tilak & Husain , 1975), P. tenebricosa Britz & Ferraris   ZBK , 2003 and P. foveolata Ng   ZBK , 2005.

Examination of Pseudolaguvia   ZBK material collected in Bangladesh revealed two distinct species found to be undescribed. The description of this material as Pseudolaguvia inornata   ZBK new species, and Pseudolaguvia muricata   ZBK new species, forms the basis of this study.
