) juvenile (UNS00876, 98 mm SL), (
b
) sub-adult (UNS00873, 205 mm SL) in life; lateral views. Scale 10 mm.
Diagnosis.
Tor sinensis
differs from
T. ater
in having lateral scales 24–25 vs. 30–31, scales in transverse row 3/ 1/2 vs. 5/1/2, predorsal scales 10 vs. 11–12, median lobe in lower lip long vs. short, stripe along side of body absent vs. present.
Tor sinensis
differs from
T. mekongensis
in having lateral scales 23–28 vs. 23, pelvic-fin rays 1/8–9 vs.
2/7, median lobe long vs. short, rostral hood prolonged into a lobe vs. rounded and blunt.
Tor sinensis
differs from
T. dongnaiensis
in having transverse scale rows 3/1/2 vs. 4/1/2, dorsal-fin rays 4/8 vs. 4/9, lobes of caudal fin nearly equal vs. unequal.
Tor sinensis
differs from
T. tambroides
in having SL/BD 3.6–4.0 vs. 3.0–3.4, lateral scales 24–25 vs. 24–26, median projection in upper lip present vs. absent.
Tor sinensis
differs from
T. yingjiangensis
in having colour in life silver-grey vs. yellow, SL/HL 3.3–3.9 vs. 3.0–3.5.
Tor sinensis
differs from
T. tambra
in Java in lateral scales 24–25 vs. 22–24, predorsal scales 10 vs. 8–9, median lobe in lower lip long vs. short.
Colour in life.
Head dark on back, white on lower jaw. Body dark on back, yellow to grey-silver on side, snowy white on abdomen. A slate-grey longitudinal stripe run from posterior of head to the caudal base in adult specimen (UNS00945), similar to
T
.
laterivittatus
, but other specimens without a longitudinal stripe. Scales silver with black at bases. Dorsal fin yellow grey, pelvic fin and anal fin dark grey. Pectoral fin pinkish on base, and black on rays. Caudal fin almost dark grey with yellow and pink tinge distally. Juvenile specimens light silver on scales and fins hyaline. Their dorsal fins green-yellow, dark grey on rays; distal margin concave. Pectoral fins pinkish orange and pelvic fin orange on coastal rays. Anal fins pinkish yellow on distal parts. Caudal fin greenish yellow, dark bold on rays (
