. . "Kryptopterus is a genus of catfishes belonging to the family Siluridae. They are found in freshwater throughout Southeast Asia. The scientific name comes from Ancient Greek krypt\u00F3s (\u03BA\u03C1\u03C5\u03C0\u03C4\u03CC\u03C2, \"hidden\") + pt\u00E9ryx (\u03C0\u03C4\u03AD\u03C1\u03C5\u03BE, \"fin\"). It refers to the reduced or even entirely absent dorsal fin of these catfishes.These small- to medium-sized catfishes have opaque, transparent or translucent bodies, hence their common name Asian glass catfishes."@en . . . . . . . . . . . .
