Rasbora mohri is an extinct species of fish in the family Daniodiae that lived during Eocene. It was one of two Rasbora (tentative) species found in Sangkarewang Formation, Sumatra. Like R. antiqua, the holotype which consisted only of single specimen has been lost and no recent specimen have been found. The original describer (Sanders, 1934) wrote that R. mohri differs from R. antiqua by having relatively longer head (around 33% or third of its SL). This proportion is more in line with other Sangkarewang cypriniforms.[1]
