Espinas dorsales (total): 1; Vértebra: 34 - 36. Distinguished from its congeners, except Glyptothorax botius, in northeast India in having a combination of large, prominent tubercles on the head and body, a thoracic adhesive apparatus without a median depression, and a very slender body and caudal peduncle (sometimes described as spindle shaped). Glyptothorax botius differs from G. telchitta in having a more triangular snout when viewed laterally, the absence of dark saddles on the body, a thoracic adhesive apparatus with narrower folds of skin, a shorter adipose-fin base (9.5-11.5% SL vs. 12.0-16.4) and a deeper caudal peduncle (4.7-5.9% SL vs. 3.1-4.2) (Ref. 54474).
Lives mainly in hill streams.
