Feranioides jamnæticus Carlleyle (Murphy 2007) |
Remarks:
Restricted to Yamuna (Jumma?), Ganges, and Brahmaputra drainages in northern India and adjacent countries, according to Whitaker & Captain (2004) and Murphy (2007). Records from southern India (e.g., Goa: Pradhan 2008; Kerala: Easa & Ramachandran 2004; Palot & Radhakrishnan 2003; Smith 1943; Maharashtra: Gyi 1970; Smith 1943; Tamil Nadu: Daniels 2001; Aengals 2009) need confirmation, as they may represent misidentified dussumieri (Murphy 2007; Whitaker & Captain 2004). The only record from West Malaysia is based on a specimen which probably has wrong locality data (Murphy 2007).
