Taxonomic issue

Oliotius oligolepis, a species of barb from Southeast Asia has at times been placed in the genus Barbus which would render the current species invalid as a junior homonym. However, since Bleeker's oligolepis species, originally in Capoeta, is currently placed in the genus Oliotius and before that in Puntius, Battalgil's oligolepis species is available and valid.
