 Comments
       
  Comment: Based on personal communication from Wayne Starnes (March 2003), and his consultation with other specialists, it appears that while there is a distinct group that has been recognized as the genus Brachydanio, the type species (Nuria albolineata Blyth 1860) definitely belongs in the genus Danio. This issue does not yet appear to be resolved
