diagnosis
Diagnosis. Devario memorialis is distinguished from its Sri Lankan congeners by the combination of the following characters and character states: anal-fin origin on vertical through dorsal-fin origin (vs anal-fin origin posterior to dorsal-fin origin, beneath 3 rd branched dorsal-fin ray in D. malabaricus, D. micronema, D. altus, and D. pathirana); 1 st infraorbital smooth, with no infraorbital process (vs infraorbital process present in D. micronema, D. pathirana, and most specimens of D. altus); anterior bars on body absent or indistinct (vs present in D. malabaricus, D. micronema, and D. pathirana); preanal length 58.5 – 63.8 % SL (vs 64.9 – 69.8 % SL in D. pathirana); caudal peduncle depth 8.1 – 9.8 % SL (vs 9.8 – 12.9 % SL in D. malabaricus, 11.3 – 13.1 % SL in D. pathirana); body depth 15.9 – 22.6 % SL (vs 26.1 – 35.4 % SL in D. malabaricus, 23.5 – 36.6 % SL in D. micronema, 21.8 – 26.0 % SL in D. altus, 32.4 – 36.9 % SL in D. pathirana); dorsal-fin height 15.7 – 20.0 % SL (vs 19.0 – 23.2 % SL in D. altus, 20.6 – 24.3 % SL in D. pathirana); dorsal-fin base length 13.5 – 16.3 % SL (vs 16.7 – 23.5 % SL in D. malabaricus, 16.6 – 23.3 % SL in D. micronema, 19.0 – 23.8 % SL in D.
