Opsarius caudiocellatus is a cyprinid known only from the Salween in southern China, Myanmar and western Thailand, and the upper Mekong in Yunnan. It is named for the black round spot at the caudal-fin base, which with its black dorsal-fin rays separates it from similar congeners. It may have appeared in the aquarium trade, though probably not under the correct name, and inhabits well-oxygenated, moderate to fast-flowing rivers and streams.
