Abstract
Peristedium indicum Brauer 1906 (family Peristediidae) has not been reported since its original description. Reexamination of syntypes of P. indicum revealed that P. indicum is included in the genus Paraheminodus Kamohara 1957 because of having upper jaw teeth, a smooth lateral margin, posterior parts of lower lateral rows of bony plates separated from each other, and all lower jaw barbels unbranched except for the posteriormost barbels. Based on a comparison of syntypes of P. indicum with all types and other materials of all congeners of Paraheminodus, it is concluded that P. indicum is a junior synonym of Paraheminodus murrayi (Günther 1880).
