Etymology: Badis: 'badis' is presumably a Bengali local name, possibly derived from 'bhedo' or 'bheda', but it lacks a proper reference. Probably incorrect etymology (J. Müller, pers. comm., April 2021, after information from native speakers); triocellus: Named based on the presence of 3 (three) distinct blotches on fins.
Issue
Most likely a synonym of Badis singenensis Geetakumari & Kadu 2011 (Sven Kullander, pers.comm. 03 April 2013; also in Eschmeyer, CofF ver. March 2013: Ref. 93249).

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 14 - 16; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 8. Can be distinguished by the having the following characters: three distinct black blotches on fins, two on anterior and posterior end of dorsal fin respectively and one on anal fin; anterior blotch on dorsal fin is present in between 3rd-5th dorsal spine, posterior one present slightly above base of last 3-4 soft rays; on anal fin, blotch is present a little above the base of last 3 soft rays; light to dark brown blotch on middle of the opercle, a brownish blotch at middle of the base of caudal fin and a faint pattern of alternating light to brown irregular stripes along the sides of the body are additional combination of characters (Ref. 91242).
