Oreoglanis tenuicauda is a species of catfish in the family Sisoridae, only known from the type locality in the upper reaches of the Nan River drainage, itself a tributary of the Chao Phraya River in northern Thailand, which was discovered by Vidthayanon, Saenjundaeng and H.H. Ng in 2009.[1][2]
Size
This species reaches a length of 9.0 cm (3.5 in).[1]
Etymology
The fish's name derives from tenuis, Latin for "thin" or "slender"; cauda (L.), "tail", referring to the more slender appearance of the caudal peduncle compared with its congeners in the Nan River drainage of Thailand.[3]
