Squalidus banarescui is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Gobionidae, the gudgeons.[1] This fish is endemic to the Dadu River in Taiwan.[2]

Named in honor of Petru Bănărescu, Institute of Biology, Bucharest, for his "great" contributions to Taiwanese cyprinid taxonomy, especially the subfamily Gobioninae, between 1960 and 1973.[3]
