Abstract

Hypselobarbus nitidus, a new teleost fish was detected in a small freshwater stream at Kerala, India.  It is a relative species of Hypselobarbus jerdoni described from Mangalore in Karnataka. It can be distinguished from its congeners in having a higher body, non-osseous, weak and flexible last simple dorsal-fin ray, 27-28 lateral line scales, 9 branched rays on the ventral fin, long anal fin, which reaches the caudal fin base, red coloured dorsal, ventral, anal and caudal fins, black-tipped dorsal fin and upper caudal lobe. Hypselobarbus nitidus is both edible and ornamental. The new species was described, scientifically named, taxonomically analyzed, and compared to its congeners.
