We describe four new species of Channa from Myanmar, all members of the Gachua group. Channa
rakhinica, new species, is a species endemic to west-flowing streams on the western slope of the Rakhine Yoma in Rakhine State; C. rubora, new species, occurs in mountain streams south of Mogaung, Kachin State; C. coccinea, new species, co-occurs with C. burmanica in streams north of Putao, also Kachin State, at the foothills of the Himalayas; and C. pyrophthalmus, new species, is found in streams in Tanintharyi Region at the southernmost tip of Myanmar, bordering Thailand. All four species are readily diagnosed by their colour pattern from other Gachua group taxa. They show genetic distances of 3.5–19.9% in the COI barcoding gene to other Myanmar members of the Gachua group.
