Abstract
Akysis heterurus, new species, is described from the Batang Hari basin in eastern Sumatra. The species closely resembles A. hendricksoni, bu t can be distinguished from it and other congeners by its truncate cau dal fin (vs. forked caudal fin) and the presence of 2-3 light brown sp ots on the dorsum below the dorsal fin (vs. the absence of spots). Som e notes on the biology of A. hendricksoni are also provided.
