Osteobrama is a genus of cyprinid fish found in southern Asia consisting of eight species. The name is derived from the Greek word osteon, meaning "bone", and the Old French word breme, a type of freshwater fish.
Species These are the species in the genus: Osteobrama alfredianus (Valenciennes, 1844) Osteobrama bakeri (Day, 1873) Osteobrama belangeri (Valenciennes, 1844) Osteobrama cotio (Hamilton, 1822) Osteobrama cunma (Day, 1888) Osteobrama dayi (Hora & Misra, 1940) Osteobrama feae Vinciguerra, 1890 Osteobrama neilli (Day, 1873) Osteobrama peninsularis Silas, 1952 Osteobrama tikarpadaensis Shangningam, Rath, Tudu & Kosygin, 2020 Osteobrama vigorsii (Sykes, 1839)
Fishbase formerly regarded O. bhimensis as a synonym of O. vigorsii, and also treats the former subspecies of O. cotio as distinct species: O. cunma and O. peninsularis, which is not supported by ITIS or WoRMS.
