Osteobrama cotio; Print; Osteobrama cotio is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Osteobrama. This species had three subspecies named O. cotio cotio; O. cotio cunma and O. cotio peninsularis but these are now considered separate species. This species is found in the drainage basins of the Ganges-Brahmaputra including Jiri River in Manipur; Barak River in Silchar; in Brahmaputra River; Uzan Bazaar in Assam; and in Bihar; Madhya Pradesh; Uttar Pradesh; and Punjab in India; and in Bangladesh. The presence of O. cotio in southern India and from the Indus basin of India and Pakistan needs to be confirmed.
