Abstract

The genus Oreoglanis is reported for the first time from India. Oreoglanis majusculus, new species, from the Kameng River at Rupa (Brahmaputra basin), in Arunachal Pradesh, India, differs from all its congeners in having the posterior margin of the maxillary barbel with villiform projections, vs. entire, crenulate, laciniate or lobulate in all other species of the genus.
