Comments: Type locality, Mula-Mutha River at Poona, Maharashtra (Ref. 4833). Thought to be extinct from its type locality for more than 70 years, it was recently discovered from Indrayani River, a tributary of Bhima River which is very close to the Mula-Mutha River of Pune; approximately 18km by land but around 120km river stretch from the type locality. Present knowledge suggests that the species could be found in two river basins with total extent of around 6100km2; however, the species is suspected to be locally extinct from half of its known extent of occurrence. Additionally, the habitat of the species may be threatened by increasing pollution, deforestation leading to siltation, halting of flow by damming, sandmining and introduced fish species (Ref. 87891). Also Ref. 41236, 43640, 43641, 45255. Status of threat: Data deficient (Ref. 50614).

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 41236)

Occurs in mountain rapids (Ref. 41236). Gut content of three specimens suggested that the fish feeds on benthic macroinvertebrates such as freshwater prawns, maxillopod crustacean (Branchiura), and Odonata nymph. Collected gravid females suggests that this species probably breeds during June to August (which is the monsoon season) and according to the local fishermen, found only during Jthese months in the Markal area. Important threats to this species include alteration of hydrological regimes because of damming, increasing pollution, deforestation leading to siltation, and introduced fish species (Ref. 87891),
