Summary The present study reports the length‐weight relationship ( LWR s) of two cyprinid fishes, Hypselobarbus thomassi (Day, 1874) and Hypselobarbus kurali (Menon & Rema Devi, 1995) from River Kallada, Southern Western Ghats, India. About 182 samples of H. thomassi (10.7–60.4 cm TL ) and 108 samples of H. kurali (9.8–27.0 cm TL ) were collected on a monthly basis between August 2015 to July 2016 using gill nets (1.5–12.0 cm). The ‘ b’ values in LWR s were determined as 2.96 for H. thomassi and 2.93 for H. kurali . No previous information is available on LWR data for these two species.
