R. bakalu was reported from the Godavari river in peninsular India.^[2] Though R. bakalu looks like R. kuturnee, it differes in the structure of its teeth patches on its upper jaw and palate, the origin of its anal fin, its eye diameter, its longer mandibular barbels, and the number of vertebrae.^{[citation needed]}
