Danio tinwini, new species, is described from the upper Course of the Mogaung Chaung, a right bank tributary of the Ayeyarwaddy River. It is distinguished from other species of Danio above all by the colour pattern, comprised of rows of dark spots along the side, and spotted dorsal, anal, pelvic, and caudal fins. From D. kyathit, with similar colour pattern, it is distinguished by the absence of lateral line and rostral barbel. From D. nigrofasciatus, which it resembles in small size, absence of lateral line and rostral barbel, and lateral stripe P-1 expressed as a row of spots, it is distinguished by the dorsal-fin count ii.61/2 (vs. ii.71/2), and stripes p and P+1 expressed as rows of spots instead of as solid stripes. Danio tinwini is one of the smallest species of Danio, males reaching Lip to 21.7 mm SL, females up to 25.6 mm SL.
