dennisyongi: named for Dennis Yong Ghong Chong ‘a distinguished and knowledgeable naturalist well experienced in many facets of tropical Southeast Asian fauna and flora with an avid interest in labyrinth fishes’.
Currently known only from the western coast of central Aceh province, northwestern Sumatra, Indonesia, between the city of Meulaboh and lowland hill streams north of the town of Singkil.
Type locality is ‘Sumatra: Aceh: Kabupaten Nagan Raya: Lamie, Alue Rayeuk, stream along road Meulaboh-Blangpidie’.
Some former localities for the congener B. rubra are currently considered to refer to B. dennisyongi and it’s unclear if the two occur together naturally in some locations due to human interference (Tan, 2013).
