Summary description from Wikipedia:
Devario fangae
Devario fangae is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Danionidae. This species is endemic to Myanmar.
Devario fangae was described by the Swedish ichthyologist Sven Kullander in 2017 from specimens collected in previous years from small streams which drained into the Mali River, a tributary of the Ayeyarwady River in the area around Putao in the extreme north of Kachin State in Myanmar.
It appears to be closely related to Devario browni and to D. kakhienensis but is distinguished from them by the dark stripe along the middle of the side of the body being wider than the adjacent paler coloured stripes on either side.
The specific name is in memory of the late Fang Fang Kullander (1962–2010), who collected the first specimens and who suggested they may represent a new species, in honour of her contribution to knowledge of the freshwater fish fauna of Myanmar.
