Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) > Siluriformes (Catfish) > Bagridae (Bagrid catfishes)
Etymology: Pseudomystus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, mystax = whiskered, used by Belon in 1553 to describe all fishes with whiskers (Ref. 45335);  funebris: The specific epithet comes from the Latin funebris, meaning "of a funeral". Being clothed in black is traditionally associated with funerals, and the name alludes to the blackwater habitat of this species (Ref. 83674).

Environment / Climate / Range Ecology

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7. Distinguished from congeners except for Pseudomystus heokkuii (from Sumatra) in having a color pattern consisting of a pale midlateral stripe and two pale oblique bands on the sides of the body. Differs from P. heokhuii in having a shorter adipose-fin base (14.2-17.7% SL vs. 18.2-22.8), more slender caudal peduncle (7.3-8.9% SL vs.8.8-10.5), wider head (24.4-26.2% SL vs. 21.7-23.8) and larger eye (11.2-14.7% HL vs. 8.5-10.7) and a slightly convex (vs. evenly sloping or slightly concave) predorsal profile (Ref. 83674).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00361 - 0.01750), b=2.95 (2.77 - 3.13), based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months ().
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100) .
