ctenocephalus have barbels that are much larger and more visible than scitulus.
Also, scitulus has larger (usually much larger) spots along the dorsal surface than along the side. The spots on ctenocephalus are uniform in size.
The stellatus are in the same Gastromyzon group(the ridens group) so they are very closely related just as ctenocephalus and scitulus are.
You should get Dr. Tan's Book. Its full of great info on these fish.

Hi Gastromyzon fancier!
I purchased the book from the Singaporean Internet Bookstore at the end of 2006.
I'm translating the book only partially yet.
However, you can buy even "amazon.com" now.

The following my pictures may also be helpful.
G. ctenocephalus and G. scitulus
G. stellatus. and G. ctenocephalus
G. stellatus. and G. zebrinus
G. oscellatus and G. scitulus
The comparative pictures seen from the back.
Please pay attention to part of junction of pelvic fin in left and right.
The junction is away at G. stellatus. and G. zebrinus. But the junction of G. oscellatus , G. scitulus and G. ctenocephalus sticks.
G. oscellatus and G. scitulus (or cteno)
G. oscellatus and G. zebrinus (or stella)
G. scitulus(or cteno) , G. scitulus(or cteno)
G. zebrinus (or stella),G. oscellatus
I found mysterious Gastromyzon.sp by a site of the internet.
