^a - Taxonomic status as per Jayaram (2010); ^b - Western Ghat endemics;

^c - Krishna river system endemics; ^d - Relative abundance; A - abundant; C - common; M - moderate; R - rare;

* - this species was not collected; its occurrence is based on report by fishermen;

** - Gonoproktopterus kolus is considered as synonym of G. curmuca (Jayaram 2010). However, if they are proved to be different,

then our species should be considered as G. kolus as per Jayaram (1991);

*** - Jayaram (2010) mentions this species as A. moreh,

but the original spelling of species given by Sykes (1839) is A. mooreh;

**** - Jayaram (2010) spells the specific name as N. ruppelli, however, Eschmeyer (2010) suggests the spelling N. rueppelli.
