Psilorhynchus kamengensis, a new species of fish (Teleostei: Psilorhynchidae) from northeast India

Psilorhynchus kamengensis, new species, is described from a stream of the Kameng River, a northern tributary to the Brahmaputra drainage, Arunachal Pradesh, northeast India. The new species belongs to the P. balitora species group and can be distinguished from all other members of this group by the presence of a longer post-epiphyseal fontanelle, 3 unbranched anal-fin rays, 9 + 8 caudal-fin rays, 35 vertebrae and fin coloration. The validity of the species is also corroborated by molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial cyt b gene
