Etymology: Puntius: Lantin, punctum = point, the point of the sword (Ref. 45335); pugio: The specific name is a Latin for a dagger. This species is named for its prominent, long, sharp, spine-like last unbranched dorsal fin ray, which in contrast to species with similar color pattern lacks serrae along the posterior borders.
