Schistura oedipus is a troglomorphic nemacheilid loach restricted to five caves in the Pang Mapha karst, Mae Hong Son province, northwest Thailand. The eyes are reduced to vestigial pits beneath the skin and the body is unpigmented. It inhabits flowing subterranean streams, often interrupted by cascades, that drain to the Salween system. Protected by Thai national law, it is included here for interest only.
