Pethia bandula, commonly known as bandula barb, is a species of cyprinid endemic to Sri Lanka where it is only known from near Galapitamada in the Warakapola Divisional Secretariat.[2][3] As this critically endangered species only was known from a single unprotected site where the population consists of an estimated 1,000 individuals, a second "insurance population" was established in 2014 by a team of IUCN scientists in cooperation with Sri Lanka's Forest Department, the Department of Wildlife Conservation and local communities.[4]
