Glyptothorax rupiri, a new sisorid catfish, is described from the Brahmaputra River basin in Arunachal Pradesh, northeast India. It differs from its congeners in the Indian subcontinent by the following combination of characters: the presence of plicae on the ventral surface of the pectoral spine and first pelvic-fin ray; a posteriorly serrated dorsal-fin spine, its length 11.3–12.2% SL; body depth at anus 11.2–13.4% SL; a thoracic adhesive apparatus longer than broad, with a V-shaped median depression which opens posteriorly; an arrow-shaped anterior nuchal plate element; adipose-fin base length 10.9–12.6% SL; nasal barbel not reaching anterior orbital margin; 14–18 serrae on posterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine; body with two longitudinal pale-cream stripes; densely tuberculated skin; and the presence of numerous tubercles on the dorsal surface of pectoral and pelvic-fin rays.

Morphological And Molecular Characterization

Specimens of a rare rhacophorid frog of the genus Theloderma were collected from Hmuifang, Mizoram, India. Based on their morphology and molecular analysis (16S rRNA), the specimens were identified as Theloderma moloch, a rare species previously recorded only from the Himalayan foothills of India and China. The present record significantly extends the known range of the species and is a first record for the state of Mizoram and Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. The uncorrected p-distance between the specimen from Mizoram, NE India and the specimen from Arunachal Pradesh, India (KU169993) and Tibet, China (KU243081) are 0.0% and 1.2% respectively.

Reproductive Compensation

ABSTRACT Understanding the reproductive profile of a population is required for making and implementing various health policies. A plethora of studies on the behaviour of fertility and mortality across the globe have been reported. Very few studies have been reported from the population of Arunachal Pradesh, one of the states in northeast India. The present study aims to examine the reproductive profile of a small tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, namely, Miju Mishmi, inhabiting the Indo-Myanmar-China border area. Two hundred and ten households were surveyed to collect the information regarding fertility, mortality, and associated factors using a pretested schedule. Miju Mishmi is experiencing considerably high fertility and mortality. Many social and biological factors for fertility and mortality prevailing in this population were identified. The existence of reproductive compensation is also found in this population. However, unlike in many Indian societies, Miju Mishmi has no preference for a son and hence no impact on fertility.

A New Species

Henckelia siangensis, a new species from Arunachal Pradesh of Northeast India, is described and illustrated here. The new species is remarkably different from all other allied species by its 5-winged calyx and elliptic-ovate calyx segments. It superficially resembles H. calva in glabrous stem and petioles, but differs from it in having persistent bracts, a campanulate 5-winged calyx and a style with glandular indumentum. A detailed morphological description, photographic illustration, and distribution of the new species are presented.
