Pimelodus nangra Hamilton 1822 : 193, 378, pl. 11 (fig. 63). Type locality: Ganges River at Patna, India. Neotype: CAS 96626. Neotype designated by Roberts & Ferraris (1998).

Nangra buchanani Day 1877a : 494, pl. 113 (fig. 3). Type locality: Ganges, Jumna, and Indus rivers; Delhi, India. Syntypes and/or Day specimens: AMS B.7541 (1, syntype) Indus River, NMW 45328 (1), RMNH 2770 (1), ZMB 18041 (1) Delhi. Apparently a replacement name for Pimelodus nangra Hamilton 1822 ; if so, the type locality is Ganges River at Patna, India. Roberts& Ferraris (1998) did not regard as a strict replacement name and consider specimens from several localities as syntypes.

Distribution: Indus, Ganges and Bramhputra drainages, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Nepal (Roberts & Ferraris, 1998).
