Dario kajal is a tiny badid from the Meghna drainage, described from the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, India, and also found in Bangladesh. It was referred to as Dario sp. 'Jaintia Hills' or D. sp. 'Bangladesh' before its description, and its name alludes to its prominent orbital stripes. Males have bars arranged in pairs on the upper half of the body, and given its rarity it is best kept alone with the emphasis on captive reproduction.
