Etymology: Glyptothorax: Greek, glyptes = carver + Greek, thorax = breast (Ref. 45335); jayarami: Named in memory of K.C. Jayaram, who made a substantial contribution to Indian ichthyology.
Eponymy: Dr Kottore Chidambaram Jayaram (1926–<2012) was Joint Director, Zoological Survey of India, and according to Barman’s etymology “…one of the prominent workers of the fishes of India of the present decade”. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 12. Distinguished from other species of the genus Glyptothorax by the having the following characters: thoracic adhesive apparatus elongate, ovoid with an oval central depression, the apparatus not reaching the gular region; base of the caudal fin with two blackish-brown blotches behind the hypural plate; occipital process not in contact with the anterior nuchal-plate element; a long dorsal spine (17.9-19.5 % SL); ventral surfaces of simple and adjacent branched rays of the pectoral and pelvic fins with well developed plicae, and first branchial arch with eight to nine gill rakers (Ref. 90059).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00369 - 0.01791), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
