Abstract
Akysis hardmani, new species, is described from the Chao Phraya River drainage in central Thailand. The new species is a member of the A. pseudobagarius species group, and is distinguished from all congeners in this group in having highly elevated supraoccipital spine and nuchal plate. It further differs from congeners in having a unique combination of the following: coloration consisting of highly contrasting light brown patches on a chocolate brown body, lack of filamentous extensions to the first pectoral-fin element, presence of 5-6 serrations on posterior edge of pectoral spine, eye diameter 6-9% of head length, branchiostegal membranes meeting at isthmus ventrally, outer mandibular barbels reaching middle of pectoral-fin base, and rounded tubercles on the tip of the snout and dorsal surface of neurocranium.
