Abstract
Fishes of the genus Psilorhynchus McClelland inhabit lowland to high gradient streams of the Gangetic, Brahmaputra and Chindwin drainages of south Asia. The fishes are small, subcylindrical, with a flattened ventral surface and have small scales and 4-10 undivided pectoral fin rays. Three species of the genus occur in Manipur, of which P. microphthalmus sp.nov. is newly described. It differs from the Ganga-Brahmaputra form, P. homaloptera, in its narrower body, shorter head, smaller eyes and fewer lateral line and predorsal scales. A key to the identification of Manipur Psilorhynchus is provided.
