---

The generic name Rasbora, in reference to the reversed ratio of abdominal and caudal vertebrae in this genus. urophthalmoides: from the specific name urophthalma, and Greek εἶδος (eîdos), meaning ‘form, likeness’, because this species was formerly referred to erroneously as Rasbora urophthalma. The epithet urophthalma is from the Ancient Greek οὐρά (ourá), meaning ‘tail’, and ὀφθαλμός (ophthalmós), meaning ‘eye’, in allusion to the black spot on the caudal-fin base.
