Material examined. Table 1; Figure 3e.

This species is recognized by having a total of 13 soft dorsal-fin rays and 16–17 soft anal-fin rays. The body has typical cyprinid shape, being sleek and slender, with a

triangular dorsal fin, large anal fin and relatively large, forked caudal fin. Faint stripes are present along the flanks, and there is a small dark blotch behind the eye. The fins may have a reddish tinge. Devario regina can be distinguished from D. annandalei and D. affinis by the absence of a vertical bars near to the cleithrum. This spe- cies usually occurs in flowing streams with sandy bottom ( Talwar and Jhingran 1991).
