Rasboroides rohani

Description

Rasboroides rohani, is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka where only known from shallow, slow-flowing, shady streams near Suriyakanda in the Walawe River basin. It was scientifically described in 2013, but a comprehensive review in 2018 based on morphometry, meristics and mtDNA disputed its validity, showing that it is a junior synonym of R. pallidus. The occurrence of R. pallidus in the Walawe River basin is not natural, but the result of translocations.
