description
Description. General body features and pigmentation are illustrated in Figures 1 – 3. Measurements are summarized in Table 1. Body compressed, elongate, sexes isomorphic. Head laterally compressed, slightly deeper than wide. Snout short, obtuse, about equal to eye diameter. Mouth terminal, oblique in profile, jaws about equal in anterior extension or lower slightly projecting. Small bony knob at dentary symphysis, fitting into notch in upper jaw. Maxilla reaching slightly beyond vertical from anterior margin of orbit. Lower jaw ending anteriorly at about upper 1 / 3 of eye ¸ posteriorly below about middle of orbit. Lower jaw with anterior lateral lobe margined with sharp, pointed tubercles; similar tubercles also distributed over anterior portion of dentary in varying number and density. Rostral barbel long, reaching to or very slightly beyond preopercular margin; maxillary barbel long, reaching slightly beyond posterior margin of pectoral-fin base, to about 1 / 3 of length of pectoral fin. Lateral line complete, comprising 34 (4), 35 (5), 36 (8) scales; descending anteriorly for about 6 scales, posteriorly paralleling ventral profile. Median predorsal scales 16 (1), 17 (6), 18 (9)

diagnosis
Diagnosis. Distinguished from all other species of Danio except D. absconditus by the presence of a large, elongate black spot at the base of the caudal fin (vs. absence; or minute and inconspicuous in D. jaintianensis (Dey), D. choprae Hora and D. flagrans Kullander; or small, round and margined by a lighter zone in D. erythromicron (Annandale )), a small black or grey cleithral spot and a light (orange in life) spot immediately above the cleithral spot (vs. absent; or present, large and not bordered by light spot in D. assamila Kullander, D. catenatus Kullander, D. concatenatus Kullander, D. dangila, and D. sysphigmatus Kullander; or minute, not separated from P stripe and not associated with light spot in D. meghalayensis Sen & Dey). Distinguished from all Danio except D. absconditus, D. assamila, D. catenatus, D. concatenatus, D. dangila, D. meghalayensis and D. sysphigmatus by the presence of a complete lateral line (vs. abbreviated or absent) and 14 – 16 circumpeduncular scales (vs. 10 – 12). Distinguished from D. absconditus by absence of dark vertical bars on abdominal sides (vs. presence of about 7 – 11 distinct dark bars), and presence of a dark area along the middle of t

Type material. The holotype is presently in a poor state of preservation, partly covered by mould, fins damaged, and no remnants left of the colour pattern (Fig. 4). It is useless as a reference specimen for the species, but the detailed description and excellent drawings provided by Hora (1937) make the designation of a neotype unnecessary. Geographical distribution (Fig. 5). Danio feegradei is known only from a small section of the western slope of the Rakhine Yoma, recorded from small coastal streams near Kyeintali north to the Thade River drainage.
