Etymology: Notoglanidium: Greek, noton = back + Greek, glanis = a fish that can eat the bait without touching the hook; a cat fish; diminutive (Ref. 45335); macrostoma: From Greek, makros (big) and stoma (mouth), referring to the large mouth of the species (Ref. 94168). The species name macrostomus (Ref. 58032) is an unjustified emendation, as it is a compound noun and therefore must not agree in gender with the genus name (Ref. 98168).

Diagnosis: combined premaxillary tooth plate very broad, 33.5-41.7% of head length vs. 30.1-35.3% in N. boutchangai, and less than 30% in the other species; eye diameter large, 9.1-13.3% of head length vs. smaller in N. maculatum, N. pallidum and N. depierrei, but overlapping with eye size range of the other species; interorbital distance rather large, 28.0-36.6% of head length vs. 24.0% or less in N. akiri, N. depierrei, N. pallidum and N. pembetadi; only 7 soft dorsal-fin rays vs. more than 8 in N. depierrei, N. maculatum, N. pallidum, N. pembetadi, N. thomasi and N. walkeri; dorsal fin spine rather long, 6.9-14.7% of standard length vs. shorter in N. depierrei, N. maculatum, N. pembetadi and N. thomasi (Ref. 94168).
Feeding on a wide variety of foods, including such things as fish fry and eggs, crustaceans, insect larvae, and plant material (Ref. 6868).
