The Croaking Gourami, Trichopsis vittata (Cuvier, 1831), is native to Southeast Asia and Sundaland, with introductionsreported from USA, Philippines and India. The species was found by us in Myanmar (1997 and 2013), andBangladesh (2014 and 2016). DNA analysis supports the view that T. vittata is a species complex. Specimens fromBangladesh, Myanmar and the European aquarium trade are the same genotype as specimens from Thailand, possiblycorresponding to Trichopsis harrisi Fowler, 1934, considered a synonym of T. vittata. Non-native populations arelikely due to release from aquarium specimens.
