There are more spiny eel that are under the name of "tire track eel" complex
-Mastacembelus armatus
-Mastacembelus favus
-Mastacembelus undulatus
-Mastacembelus notophthalmus
-Mastacembelus tinwini
-Mastacembelus pantherinus

Tire track eels are still being study more as there are more species from this complex that pops out as a different species.
