Barbodes zakariaismaili, or Zakaria's barb, is a newly described species of cyprinid fish as of 2021.

[1] The species is native to Malaysia, where it is found in foothills and lowland streams with clear water in the southern Malay Peninsula.

Previously thought to be a variant of Barbodes banksi, it and Barbodes sellifer were removed from B. banksi due to its unique color pattern in adulthood and morphological differences.

The feature that distinguishes the species is the triangular black mark below the dorsal fin that stretches to the lateral line, this trait is similar to B. sellifer, but the mark is less broad and less rectangular then B. sellifer, the adults of B. zakariaismaili also sport an additional faint blackish lateral mark running along the lateral line from the gill opening to below the dorsal-fin, a black spot at the base of the caudal fin, an extended and pointed snout, and smaller eyes then B.

[2] The species has a very small distribution, possibly only present in state of Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia[2] as no other confirm catch records outside of its range have been made as of yet.
