Chitala lopis,[2] also known as the belida or giant featherback,[3] is an extinct species of freshwater fish, formerly endemic to the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. It inhabited lowland river mainstreams and tributaries with rocky and sunken wood bottoms, as well as forest-covered streams. It fed on smaller fishes, insects and vertebrates, mostly at night. It is now considered extinct.[1]
