Etymology: Devario: Bangla/Bengali:‘debari’, local name for these fishes; also meaning ‘brother in law’ (Ref. 2031).
Eponymy: Dr Sunder Lal Hora (1896–1955) was a distinguished Indian ichthyologist and biologist who held a doctorate in science from both the Punjab University (1922) and Edinburgh University (1928), having studied for his master’s at the Government College, [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Tropical
Asia: known only from the Myitnge watershed of the Irrawaddy in northern Shan States, Myanmar (Ref. 36341). Questionable in Thailand (Ref. 1632) and in the Salween basin (Ref. 12041).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4832); max. published weight: 3.90 g (Ref. 124711)
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 13 - 15; Vertebrae: 33 - 35. Incomplete or complete lateral line; infraorbital process absent; branched dorsal fin rays 7; usually 10 or 11 branched anal fin rays. A distinct series of narrow vertical bars anteriorly on side of body, followed by a horizontal P stripe extending to end of caudal peduncle; barbels absent or rudimentary (Ref. 36341).
Found in rice fields, small ponds and pools in hill streams (Ref. 4832). Collected from streams with fast flowing, clear water, over a substrate with rocks, sand and pebbles (Ref. 36341). Most specimens obtained in late March 1997 appeared to be sexually mature (Ref. 36341).
