Abstract

The present paper records Garra mirofrontis from Thailand for the first time. The species was collected in Huai Sai Marn stream, a small stream that flows to the Mekong River in Chiang Rai Province. The distribution of this species is therefore known to be extended 200 km southwestward from Yunnan, China.
