TABLE 1. Morphometric measurements (as % SL unless marked % LHL) of Barilius signicaudus.
Scales. 36–39 scales in lateral-line row to end of hypural plate (rarely 36), 1–3 more scales to base of caudal
fin. Eight scale rows above lateral line (predorsal scale row not included); 2–3.5 rows below lateral line; 17–21
scales in predorsal row; 10–14 circumpeduncular scales. Axillary process at the anterior base of pectoral fin and
axillary scale at the anterior base of pelvic fin well developed.
Fins. Dorsal fin in posterior half of body (not including caudal fin); origin far behind vertical through origin of
pelvic fin; with 2–3 simple rays and 7–8 branched rays; straight to slightly concave in most specimens; convex
with middle and posterior branched rays lengthened in presumed developed male, with posterior tip surpassing
vertical through posterior base of anal fin. Anal-fin origin at vertical line through 2nd to 4th branched dorsal-fin
rays. Anal fin with 2–3 simple rays and 9–11 branched rays; first 3–4 branched rays elongated, creating concave
margin; straight margin in presumed developed male. Lower lobe of caudal fin longer than or equal to upper lobe.
Pectoral fin large, with 12–13 rays; often reaching base of pelvic fin. Pelvic fin with 7–9 rays; origin far in front of
dorsal-fin origin; tip not reaching origin of anal fin; posterior tip not reaching anterior origin of anal fin except in
presumed developed male.
