Etymology: Physoschistura: Greek, physa = bellows + Greek, schizein = divided + Greek, oura = tail (Ref. 45335);  absumbra: Named from the mythology of the Wa people, the predominant ethnic minority along the Sinoburmese border in this region. Derived from Latin words absum, to be absent; and umbra, shadow, an allusion to the Wa’s mythic ancestors, from whom it is said to cast no shadows. A noun in apposition..

Max length : 4.4 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 116525)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 13-14; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 36 - 38. Physoschistura absumbra is easily diganosed from all species of Physoschistura by the absence of a suborbital lobe and by having a complete lateral line and a continuous lower jaw. It further differs from all congeners by the following characters: head depth at nape 13-14% SL; head length dorsally 23-25% SL, laterally 26-28% SL; body depth 15-17% SL; caudal-peduncle depth 13--4% SL; flank with 9-12 regular bars; basicaudal bar complete; and a maximum adult size of about 44 mm SL (Ref. 116525).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected from a small tributary, about 2 m wide and 30 cm deep at the sampling site, running into the Nangunhe River. Not encountered in the mainstem of the Nangunhe River. Co-occurred with two nemacheilids, Schistura cryptofasciata and S. disparizona, both were found in the mainstem (Ref. 116525).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00336 - 0.01491), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
