Pseudobagrus brevianalis is a species of bagrid catfish endemic to Taiwan. [1] [2] [3] First collected from Sun Moon Lake (the type locality), it is found in central and northern Taiwan, west of the Central Mountain Range. [3] [2] Based on the lack of morphological and genetic differences, it has been proposed that Pseudobagrus taiwanensis is a junior synonym of Pseudobagrus brevianalis, [3] but this has not been followed by online databases. [4] [5]
Pseudobagrus brevianalis grows to 20 cm (7.9 in). It has not been evaluated by IUCN but is classified as " vulnerable" in the 2012 Redlist of Fresh Water Fishes of Taiwan. [2]
