Remarks.—Yvom the described species of Glyptothorax from Thai- land, India, and the Indo-Australian Archipelago, this form seems to differ in the combination of a comparatively short body, moderately elongate caudal peduncle, origin of the ventral fins under the last ray of the dorsal fin, and striking and peculiar coloration: a sharply de- fined narrow white stripe following the lateral line and a yellow but- terflylike spot on the back at the front of the dorsal fin. It is a pleasure to name this species for A. R. Buchanan, of the Borneo Company, Ltd., who in June, July, October, and November, 1935, made for H. G. Deignan small but valuable collections of fishes from the Mechem and various tributaries thereof, from which no fishes had previously been obtained for scientific purposes. GLYPTOTHORAX FUSCUS Fowler Glyptothorax fuscus Fowi^R, 1934a. p. 89, figs. 31-33 (Chantabun. Nakon Srita- marat). Fowler regarded this species, known from nine specimens from Southeastern Thailand and Peninsular Siam, to cm. long, as related to G. platypogon, of Java, Sumatra, and Borneo, differing m proportions, longer nasal barbel, more backward extension of the base of the anal fin, and coloration. The species agrees further with.
