        Identification changed to [T. aff. argentivittatus differs from T. argentivittatus in having longer outer mandibular barbels and anal-fin base, and from T. mica in having longer maxillary barbels. T. aff. argentivittatus features a broader black longitudinal stripe along the flank compared to both T. argentivittatus and T. mica. Both T. aff. argentivittatus and T. argentivittatus have a black streak along the leading dorsal fin rays, which is absent in T. mica. Both T. aff. argentivittatus and T. mica differ from T. argentivittatus in having fewer vertebrae numbers (27–29 vs. 30–32).] from [].

        General changed to [T. aff. argentivittatus was first characterized as a unique species by Shao, W et al. 2025. J. Biogeography, 0:e15144 (https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.15144), but a formal species description has yet to be completed.] from [].
