<i>Osteobrama cotio</i> Species of fish

Osteobrama cotio is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Osteobrama. This species had three subspecies named O. cotio cotio, O. cotio cunma and O. cotio peninsularis but these are now considered separate species. This species is found in the drainage basins of the Ganges-Brahmaputra including Jiri River in Manipur, Barak River in Silchar, in Brahmaputra River, Uzan Bazaar in Assam, and in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab in India, and in Bangladesh. The presence of O. cotio in southern India and from the Indus basin of India and Pakistan needs to be confirmed. This species is threatened by extensive loss of habitat caused by pollution and deforestation.

It occurs in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala. It has been recorded from the drainages of the Krishna River and the Godavari River as well as the Periyar River. Formerly this taxon was confused with Osteobrama cunma and this means that its distribution is uncertain, although it is described as common in Pune and the surrounding areas and in Karnataka. Like O. cunma it was formerly treated as a subspecies of Osteobrama cotio.
