 affluents of river Kapuas, river Bo, affluent of river Mahakam,

This species is closely related to P. orphoidcs, from which 

 it differs by having one scale less between lateral line and 

 ventrals and by having some scales more between dorsal and 

 occiput. Moreover the dorsal is higher and the pectorals are 

 somewhat longer in P. collingivoodi than in P. orphoides.
