Schistura horai is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It is found in India and Pakistan. It is named in honour of the ichthyologist Sunder Lal Hora (1896–1955), who was the Director of the Zoological Survey of India and who collected the type specimen in 1926 in Himachal Pradesh.[2][3]
