Notes.

Our seven specimens of P. laoensis specimens (Fig. 3 D, E) were collected in the upper Xekong drainage of Central Vietnam, the type locality, i. e., in the Lao Mountains of Cochin-China, now Central Vietnam. Topotypic material of P. bantamensis and P. aluoiensis resembled P. laoensis in having the proximal half of the caudal fin orange and the distal half bright yellow, and bold black submarginal stripes on the caudal fin.

Distribution.

Poropuntius laoensis occurs in the Lower Salween, Chao Phraya, Lower Lancang, northern Annam, and Kratie-Stung Treng ecoregions.
