Comments: Described from nine ripe female specimens, 8.8 - 10.8 cm, from Lake Lanao, Mindanao. The most highly prized cyprinid, used for food by the Maranaos. Caught only during the colder months and apparently the rarest and most difficult to catch (Ref. 2855). Still caught in the lake in 1963-64 (Ref. 10885). In the 1990-91 survey, only two (2) kilograms of this species was recorded; caught with gill nets along with the other species (Ref. 13448). No specimen was caught during the 2008 survey (Ref. 95183). Usually found in the littoral areas, with heavy aquatic vegetation (Ref. 13448). Also Ref. 13446, 70969, 94476.
