| Family: |
Danionidae (Danios), subfamily: Danioninae |
| Max. size: |
7.69 cm SL (male/unsexed); 7.46 cm SL (female) |
| Environment: |
benthopelagic; freshwater; depth range - 1 m |
| Distribution: |
Asia: Rkahine Yoma, south-western Myanmar. |
| Diagnosis: |
Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-16; Anal soft rays: 17-19; Vertebrae: 34-35. Diagnosed from all congeners except Devario anomalus by its the color pattern, with a dark blotch anteriorly on the side composed of 4-5 short partly confluent vertical bars which may also be confluent to form a homogeneous blotch, and a wide dark horizontal band (P stripe) posteriorly on the side. Differs from Devario anomalus by proportional measurements and meristics, most important by deeper body (29.9-35.,8% SL, vs. 25.0-26.8 % SL) and fewer lateral line scales (31-33, modally 32 vs. 33-35, modally 34). In addition, the presence of an infraorbital process separates this species from all barred species of Devario (Ref. 81819).
Description: Dorsal-fin rays iii.10½ , iii.11½, iii.12½; anal-fin rays iii.13½, iii.14½, iii.15½; pectoral-fin rays i.11, i.12, i.13; pelvic-fin rays i.6, i.7 (Ref. 81819).. |
| Biology: |
The type locality is a small forest river with clear, colorless and slow-flowing or stagnant water and with bottom made up of stones, gravel and rock (Ref. 81819). During low water season, this forest river is reduced to a series of connected pools, up to 2 m wide, and not more than 1 m deep (Ref. 81819). |
