- Kryptopterus vitreolus, new species Holotype: UMMZ 249801, 45.2 mm SL; Thailand: Trat Province, Amphoe Khao Saming; K. Udomritthiruj, 27 November 2011. Paratypes: all specimens listed as paratypes of K. vitreolus by Ng & Kottelat (2013) are paratypes of K. vitreolus described herein. Diagnosis: Kryptopterus vitreolus can be distinguished from all other congeners (except K. minor and K. piperatus) in having a transparent (vs. translucent or opaque) body in life, and from members of the K. cryptopterus, K. limpok, and K. schilbeides groups in having fewer anal-fin rays (48–55 vs. 64–85). Kryptopterus vitreolus can be distinguished from members of the K. bicirrhis species group (K. bicirrhis, K. lais, K. macrocephalus, K. minor, K. palembangensis and K. piperatus) in having the following combination of characters: snout length 29–35 % HL, eye diameter 28–34 % HL, body depth at anus 16–20 % SL, depth of caudal peduncle 4–7 % SL, maxillary barbels reaching beyond base of first anal-fin ray, dorsal profile with pronounced nuchal concavity, 14–18 rakers on first gill arch, and 48–55 anal-fin rays. See Ng & Kottelat (2013) for a complete description and further information and discussion.
