Chonerhinos naritus is a species of freshwater pufferfish native to Southeast Asia. This species grows to a length of 28.5 centimetres (11.2 in) TL. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Chonerhinos. Its common names include bronze pufferfish and yellow pufferfish.[1]
It has been suggested that the genus name Chonerhinos is not valid and that the fish should be renamed.[2] As of 2013, the name is still in use.[3]
