Schistura sigillata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura from Laos.
Schistura is a genus of fish in the stone loach family Nemacheilidae native to the streams and rivers of the southern and eastern Asia. Some of these species are troglobitic.
Schistura aramis is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura from the Nam Nua catchment, a tributary of the Nam Ou in Laos, it may also possibly occur in Vietnam. The specific name comes from one of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers, Aramis as do that of two other Schistura species endemic to the Nam Ou basin, S. athos and S.porthos.
Schistura athos is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura, its specific name athos is from, Athos, one of the Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, as do that of two other Schistura species endemic to the Nam Ou basin, S. aramis and S.porthos. It has only been recorded from the Nam Ou basin in Laos, as well as from a stretch of the Nam Noua, a tributary of the Nam Ou, in Vietnam. S. athos has been collected from rapids and stretches of the main river with stone substrates.
Schistura fasciolata is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura found fast-flowing streams in China and Vietnam. It can each a length of 12 cm (4.7 in).
Schistura globiceps is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Schistura. It has only been collected from a single stream in the upper Nam Tha watershed in Laos where it was found under stones in a fast flowing hill stream.
Schistura hingi is a species of ray-finned fish in the most speciose genus of stone loaches, Schistura. It occurs in the Pearl River basin of southeastern China and the coastal drainages in central Vietnam, it probably also occurs in the costal drainages of northern Vietnam too where it inhabits medium-sized rivers and streams where a substrate of rocks and gravel lies in riffles. The specific name honours a specimen collector, Ah Hing, whose efficiency in collecting for the botanist-ornithologist Geoffrey Herklots of Hong Kong University, Hing's patience and skill enabled Herre "to get many specimens”.
Schistura latidens is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has been collected on one occasion from a single locality in 1997 from the Xe Banghiang watershed in Laos. It has not been searched for since. It was recorded in strong currents in riffles and rapids over a stony bed.
Schistura macrotaenia is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It occurs in the Tengtiao Jiang River drainage in Yunnan and may also occur in the same river drainage in northern Vietnam.
Schistura menanensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded the Mae Nam Nan drainage, a branch of the Chao Phraya in Thailand where it has been observed in streams with moderate to fast currents, in riffles, with gravel to stone beds. The specific name menanensis refers to the type locality of this species on the Mae Nam Nam.
Schistura nicholsi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in the Mekong basin of north eastern Thailand, Laos and it is also likely to be found in Cambodia. It occurs in shallow riffles with moderate to fast flows. Human modification of the rivers' morphology through such activities as logging and agriculture are affecting this species range. However, its distribution covers a wide geographic range and it is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. The specific name honors John Treadwell Nichols (1883-1958) who was curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History and who made an important contribution to the ichthyology of China, and especially to the knowledge of loaches.
Schistura novemradiata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura which has been recorded from a single locality in the upper Nam Tha watershed in Laos where it was found in a small stream over a substrate consisting of gravel and stone.
Schistura personata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura.It has only been recorded in the Nam San, a tributary of the Nam Ngum in the Mekong Basin of Laos where it can be found in moderately fast or fast flowing streams, among riffles, with a stone or gravel bed. Its population has been impacted by dams and by deforestation, agriculture and small scale gold mining and it is thought that it has declined.
Schistura pertica is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded once, in 1997, from a very small stream entering the Nam Ou River, downstream of the Muang Khoa River in northern Laos, it is expected to occur elsewhere in the Nam Ou drainage. It was observed in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over beds varying from gravel to stone
Schistura pervagata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. The species occurs in Laos and Vietnam in streams with moderately fast to fast currents among riffles where there are substrates which vary from gravel to stone.
Schistura porthos is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura from the Mekong basin; the Nam Ngiap, Nam Khan, Nam Xuang, Nam Ou and Nam Tha drainages in northern Laos and the Luosuojiang drainage in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. The specific name comes from one of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers, Aramis as do that of two other Schistura species endemic to the Nam Ou basin, S. athos and S.aramis.
Schistura reidi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It occurs in the Salween basin in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand, and probably in Myanmar too as the Salween forms the border between Myanmar and Thailand in this area. The specific name honors Earl D. Reid of the Division of Fishes at the United States National Museum.
Schistura schultzi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has been recorded from the Mekong in Chiang Rai Province and Loei Province in Thailand, it should also be present in Bokeo Province in Laos. Almost nothing is known about this species biology. The specific name honours Leonard Peter Schultz (1901-1986) who was Curator of Fishes at the United States National Museum.
Schistura sexcauda is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in the basin of the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand where it has been recorded in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over substrates consisting of gravel to stone. Some authorities regard Schistura fowleriana as a synonym of this species.
Schistura tizardi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura from the Kong River basin in southern Laos. It was found in rapids and stretches of river with stone bottoms, in both the mainstream and the tributaries.
Schistura kodaguensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. This species has been recorded from a single stream with a swift current and gravel bottom in the Cauvery River system in Karnataka, India.
