Desmopuntius rhomboocellatus[1] is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Borneo where it is found in western and central Kalimantan. This species reaches a length of 8.8 centimetres (3.5 in) TL.[2] The specific rhomboocellatus refers to the rhomboid ocellus markings of the flanks, which also give rise to the common name "Snakeskin barb".
