Taxonomy and species
[edit]Bangana includes many species formerly classified in the genus Sinilabeo.[2] A number of species often placed in Bangana have again been moved to other genera, notably Altigena, Gymnostomus, Incisilabeo, Speolabeo and Decorus, but to what extent these changes are recognized varies.[3][4][5][6][7]
Bangana contains the following valid species:[8]
- Bangana almorae (B. L. Chaudhuri, 1912)
- Bangana brevirostris K. Liu & W. Zhou, 2009
- Bangana dero (Hamilton, 1822) (kalabans)
- Bangana devdevi (Hora, 1936)
- Bangana diplostoma (Heckel, 1838)
- Bangana gedrosicus (Zugmayer, 1912)
- Bangana nukta (Sykes, 1839) (Nukta)
B. joalius (Hamilton, 1822) is a Species inquirenda within this genus.[8]
