from the median anterior point of the snout to the nostril; 

 "snout to occiput" covers the distance from the tip of the 

 snout to the posterior median dorsal line of the head; "height 

 of dorsal" and "height of anal" refer to the distance from the 

 distal ends of the longest rays to their proximal ends, even 

 though they may be somewhat covered by scales at their proximal 

 ends. 



Barbus bantolanensis sp. nov. 



Length of head 2.85 to 3.2 in total length; depth of body 

 2.5 to 2.9 in total length; diameter of eye 5.3 to 5.8 in head, 

 that is, to the posterior margin of the hard opercle; diameter 

 of eye 1.84 to 2.06 in interorbital space and 1.08 to 1.35 in 

 snout; rostral barbel 1 to 1.3 in diameter of eye and % to % in 

 maxillary barbel.
