Abstract

Osteochilus spilurus is native freshwater fish in Sundaland. Previous records of this species in Indonesia indicate a dispersed gap between The Sumatera and the Kalimantan Islands, namely Bangka Belitung Archipelago. A new record in Bangka and the Belitung Islands completes its distribution in Southeast Asia. Fishes with O. spilurus morphological characters have been found in five separate regencies.
