Distribution. Kau Sai Chau area ( Wilson et al., 1997 as Bangana decora ).

Native range. Endemic to the Xijiang (West River), South China ( East Asia).

Remarks. A single individual reported was likely mixed-up with other aquacultured fish that were released into ponds in the Kau Sai Chau Golf Course ( Wilson et al., 1997). It has not been observed in Hong Kong since its initial discovery and is considered to be locally extinct.
