10.34 Schistura McClelland, 1838
Schistura McClelland, 1838: 944, 947 (type species: Schistura
rupecula McClelland, 1838: 948, by subsequent
designation by Jordan, 1919: 195; also in M'Clelland,
1839: 306, 439). Gender feminine.
Acoura Swainson, 1839: 310 (subgenus of Cobitis Linnaeus,
1758: 303; type species: Cobitis obscura Swaison, 1839:
310, by subsequent designation by Swain, 1883: 281; also
spelt Acourus on p. 190, first reviser [Jordan, 1919: 204]
gave precedence to Acoura; as there is no etymology
cannot be treated as an inadvertent error). Gender feminine.
Acura Agassiz, 1846: 7 (unjustified emendation of Acoura
Swainson, 1839: 310). Gender feminine.
? Longischistura Bănărescu & Nalbant, 1995: 444 (type species:
Nemacheilus striatus Day, 1867b: 347, by original
designation). Gender feminine.
Taxonomic notes. The description of Longischistura is accompanied
by neither a diagnosis nor a discussion and it is
impossible to know why the mentioned characters would
diagnose a distinct lineage; at best they seem to be autapomorphies.
In addition, there is no clear indication of what
material has been examined.
Nomenclatural notes. Two species were originally included
in Schistura: S. rupecula and S. montana. Schistura is a
feminine noun because it ends with the Greek word ορ
(tail), which is feminine. Further, the species name montana
is an adjective with feminine ending and also indicates that
the genus name was meant to be feminine (see also under
S. rupecula).

name for the invalid Oreias).
