description: Key to species in Notoglanidium
1 Elongated post-anal region, resulting in a pre-anal body length of only 45.3–52.0% SL; 25–28 anal-fin rays..... N. depierrei
- Post-anal region shorter, with a pre-anal body length of 54.0–68.4% SL; 9–15 anal-fin rays........................... 2
2 Seven soft dorsal-fin rays............................................................................... 3
- More than eight dorsal-fin rays........................................................................... 5
3 Head and body extremely depressed, with pre-dorsal body depth 10.9–12.9% SL and maximal head depth 36.6–39.1% HL; 14 or 15 anal-fin rays.......................................................................... N. boutchangai
- Head and body moderately depressed, with pre-dorsal body depth 16.1% SL or more, and maximal head depth 45.9% HL or more; 10–13 anal-fin rays 4
4 Body moderately depressed, with pre-dorsal body depth 16.1–18.0% SL; large combined premaxillary tooth plate width (33.5– 41.7% HL); branchiostegal membranes free, not fused; spotted to banded colour pattern variable but always present................................................................................................. N. macrostoma
- Body relatively high, with pre-dorsal body depth 19.5–24.4% SL; narrower combined premaxillary tooth plate width (22.0– 26.1% HL); branchiostegal membranes completely fused; colour pattern may be dim or absent................... N. akiri
