Although it has been reported from the Salween River drainage in China (Chu and Mo 1999), this record is questionable as it likely refers to G. ngapang and requires verification (H.H. Ng, pers. comm., 2010).

Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The threats to this species are unknown, since there is little information on the biology of this species and therefore the impact of potential threats (especially those of an anthropogenic nature) remains unknown. The current threats to aquatic biodiversity in all of its known distribution have also not been adequately identified.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: More research about the population size and trends, distribution and the biology of this species is needed, as there is insufficient information available. Potential threats to this species also need to be identified.
