Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is known from the Ayeyawaddy, Sittaung and Ataran river drainages. Its presence in the Salween is expected, but not yet verified.
This species was described from “Tenasserim Provinces” in southern Myanmar (Blyth 1860). At the time it was described, this term did not refer to the modern administrative unit of Tanintharyi in southeastern Myanmar, but referred to all of Myanmar south and east of the Ayeyarwaddy delta and included the present-day states of Kayah, Kayin, Mon, Bago, and possibly also the Tanintharyi Region as well (Fang and Kottelat 1999).

Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The threats to this species are unknown, since there is no information on the biology of this species and therefore the impact of potential threats (especially those of an anthropogenic nature) remains unknown. Being a hillstream species, this species is expected to be vulnerable to anthropogenic habitat disturbance (e.g. siltation caused by deforestation) and dams.
