Source-derived summary

Pterocryptis bokorensis is a species of catfish found in the Mekong basin.

This species reaches a length of 15.0 cm (5.9 in).

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of Bokor, Cambodia, elevation 800-1000 meters, the type locality.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Pterocryptis bokorensis” as species of fish. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Pterocryptis, bokorensis and species.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1000—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Pterocryptis, bokorensis and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pterocryptis bokorensis”, the useful work is to connect “species of fish” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 2, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6407022. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1000.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
