Where the name comes fromEdit

from the Bengali vernacular banggana, used in reference to "most species" of Mugil (Mugilidae) and certain cyprinids, all of which possess an “elevated longitudinal ridge on the middle of the lower jaw”.

Bangana devdevi is a cyprinid known with certainty from the Irrawaddy system in Manipur, India, and Myanmar, and the Salween in Myanmar and Thailand. Records from the Red River basin in Vietnam appear questionable. It presumably inhabits flowing river channels and larger tributaries and migrates seasonally, as related species do.
