Chanda robertsi is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Ambassidae, the Asiatic glassfishes. It was the sole species in the genus Pseudambassis. [2] It is endemic to Burma. [3] [1] The Catalog of Fishes classified this species as Parambassis robertsi between 2012 and 2024, but now classifies it as Chanda. [4] The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Tyson R. Roberts but the specific name was misspelt as "roberti" throughout the initial description. [5]
