Tor tambra (Valenciennes, in Cuvier & Valenciennes)

Remarks. We herein treat Tor tambra as one species. Tor tambra is the valid name if Tor tambra and Tor tambroides are assumed to be synonyms (following Kottelat, 2013). Juveniles are common in small fast flowing streams and while larger individuals were found in larger streams and Brantian river. Both morphotypes of Tor ( tambra with a short mental lobe, and tambroides with a long mental lobe) are present in this region (see Fig. 6 ).
