Nemachilichthys shimogensis, the Shimoga loach,[1] is a species of stone loach from the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and Karnataka.[2] Although Fishbase treats it as a valid species some authorities state that N. shimogensis is the same species as, i.e. a synonym of, Nemacheilus rueppelli, which they then place as the only species in the genus Nemachilichthys.[3][4]
