Schistura zonata

(Schistura zonata)

Description

Schistura zonata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura from hill streams in Assam. Its exact distribution is unknown and there have been records of this species since the type specimens were collected. Some authorities include Nemacheilus mugah as a syononym of S. zonata which in turn has been regarded as a synonym of Schistura scaturigina, but these views are not currently widely accepted.
