Nemacheilus rueppelli, also known as the mongoose loach is a species of stone loach from rivers in India. It includes Nemachilichthys shimogensis, which frequently is recognized as a valid species from the Thunga River in Karnataka, but Keskar et al. 2015 treat them as synonyms,[3] while Fishbase says the name is misapplied and should not be used[2] as N. shimgoensis is treated as a separate species by Fishbase and the IUCN.[4] According to Keskar et al, 2015 this species is placed in the monotypic genus Nemachilichthys[3] but Fishbase retains it in Nemacheilus.,[5] although Catalog of Fishes follows treatment outlined by Keskar et al.[6]
