Hemibagrus nemurus is a species of catfishes in the family Bagridae. After a major review by Ng and Kottelat (2013), its distribution is believed to be confined (endemic) to Java.[1]: 233 It is found in Sumatra in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in 2016, too. These catfish are found in Malaysia, Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, Borneo) and Thailand.
In human culture
[edit]They are common food fish in Malaysia and Indonesia, where they are either steamed or cooked in curry.[2]
