Sisor Pakistanicus
''Sisor'' is a genus of catfishes native to Asia. Taxonomy ''Sisor'' was previously monotypic, containing only ''S. rabdophorus'', prior to a review of the genus in 2003 in which the three species ''S. chennuah'', ''S. rheophilus'', and ''S. torosus'' were described. ''S. barakensis'' was described in 2005. ''S. rabdophorus'' is sometimes spelled ''S. rhabdophorus''; this is meant to correct the misspelling of the Greek word ''rhabdos'' meaning ''rod''. However, this is not a valid emendation. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * ''Sisor barakensis'' Vishwanath & Darshan, 2005 * ''Sisor chennuah'' Ng & Lahkar, 2003 * '' Sisor pakistanicus'' Javed & Mirza, 2011Javed, M.N. & Mirza, M.R.
