The species was collected from the Barap Stream in shallow water (ca 10–30 cm depth) near Lazu Village in the southeastern part of Arunachal Pradesh, where the substrate comprises mostly of medium-sized boulders, and a mixture of pebbles, cobbles, small stones and large boulders somewhere of light to dark grayish colors. The water in the stream was cool, clear and moderately fowing due to considerable decrease in water volume in dry season. Riparian vegetaton found were grasses, shrubs and small to medium sized trees along the banks and larger trees uphill. Associated fish collected were Schizothorax richardsonii, Garra sp., Amblyceps sp. Psilorhynchus balitora, Devario aequipinnatus, and Exostoma labiatum (Ref. 128991). |
