The Belido (Chitala lopis) was a freshwater fish 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, and it fed on smaller fishes, insects and vertebrates, mostly at night. It is now considered extinct.
