Asia: India, Myanmar, Thailand and northwestern Malaya (Ref. 4832). Reported from the Mekong basin (Ref. 12975).
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: The species is recorded from Thailand (Ko Samui (Surathani), Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Phuket, Kanchanaburi, and Mae Hong Son; Suvatti 1981). The species is present in basins from the Mae Khlong (western Thailand) to the Malay Peninsula; it has been recorded from the Kerian River and its tributaries, Perak State, and from rivers around the Gunung Jerai mountain in Kedah State (Shah et al. 2009), northern peninsular Malaysia (Isa et al. 2010) and Pulau Langkawi, and island off the coast of western peninsular Malaysia (Azmir and Samat 2010).
Records from India (Assam) and Myanmar (Talwar and Jhingran 1991) perhaps pertain to another species (Danio assamensis Barman, 1984), though the species could be expected to be present in eastern Malaysia adjacent to Thailand. A record from Lao PDR (Mekong basin at Houei Nhang River near Pakse; Taki 1974) requires confirmation.
