Abstract

We report new distribution records of Redside Barb (Puntius bimaculatus), a species of freshwater fish, for the first time from the Nallamala Hill Ranges of Nagarkurnool and Nalgonda districts (Telangana state), and the Seshachalam Hills in Kadapa district (Andhra Pradesh). We provide a brief description of earlier reports and a detailed description of this species.
