Comments: Occurs in a steeply sloping mountain drainage with fast flowing water, debouching into the Siang River (Brahmaputra River basin), about 3 km from Bomdo village on the main road to Tuting, Upper Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh.  Substrates are mostly composed of large, dark-brown boulders and with pebbles, cobbles, concrete fragments of various colors and minute gravels in certain places. The banks have mosses, shrubs, small trees, with larger trees further uphill.  The gravel bed was more or less clean, with only a little algal slime over the substratum.  Other fish species collected at the type locality are <i>Neolissochilus hexagonolepis</i>, <i>Pseudecheneis sulcata</i>, <i>Garra magnidiscus</i> and <i>Schistura</i> sp. (Ref. 105469).
