Species that contain: Botia and horae [ 1 ] records horae, Botia Smith [H.

Paratypes: KUMF 0166 (1), USNM (1). Type catalog: Vilasri et al. 2018:56 [ref. 36451]. The spelling horae is acceptable; early workers almost certainly Latinized the name first, and then added an 'e' (Art. 31.1.1) [WNE, 12 Mar. 2012] -- we suggest using horae when the species is treated as valid. •Synonym of Botia morleti Tirant 1885 -- (Kottelat 1987:17 [ref. 11434], Kottelat 2001:89 [ref. 25780]). •Synonym of Yasuhikotakia morleti (Tirant 1885) -- (Kottelat 2004:14 [ref. 27360], Kottelat 2012:20 [ref. 32367], Kottelat 2013:176 [ref. 32989], Vilasri et al. 2018:56 [ref. 36451]).
