Type locality: Myanmar, Kachin State, Ayeyarwaddy River drainage, Nan Hto Chaung in Putao, about 1 mile from 46th regiment, close to rice mill.

Etymology: The specific name flagrans is a Latin participial adjective (= flaming, blazing, burning, glowing), and is given with reference to the red to orange colour in living specimens, and with inspiration from the name glowlight danio applied on this species and D. choprae.
