Rasboroides rohani, is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka[2] where only known from shallow, slow-flowing, shady streams near Suriyakanda in the Walawe River basin.[1] It was scientifically described in 2013,[1] but a comprehensive review in 2018 based on morphometry, meristics and mtDNA disputed its validity, showing that it is a junior synonym of R. pallidus.[3] The occurrence of R. pallidus in the Walawe River basin is not natural, but the result of translocations.[3]
