Taxonomic notes. This species is placed in Schistura by Zhu
(1989) and Zhou & Cui (1993). The type locality of both
Claea dabryi and the sisorid catfish Chimarrichthys davidi
Sauvage, 1874 is given as Yao-Tchy [Yaoji, Qiaoqi]. The
specimens were collected by A. David in 1869. David was in
Mouping [Muping] (an independant Tibetan princedom) from
1 March to 22 November 1869. Muping more or less corresponds
to present Baoxing County in Sichuan. David published
a narrative of his stay in Muping and a day-by-day
description of his movements, activities and collections (David,
1874). He stayed at the catholic mission in Dengchigou
(30°32'07"N 102°56'28"E); he was repeatedly ill and with a

single exception he only made one-day trips around Dengchigou,
all on foot. Although he seems to have walked very
far and hunting on the way, he does not seem to have been to
Qiaoqi (at least 25 km away). Local hunters brought him
various material from Qiaoqi but he did not report receiving
fishes from there. But he mentioned (1874: 42) that his hunters
brought him two fish species from "our torrent" [implied,
the torrent in Dengchigou], chepadze ("a siluroid that stucks
on stones using its flat belly, of which it makes a sucker";
apparently Chimarrichthys davidi) and si-yu (a cyprinid, likely
a schizothoracine). On p. 66, he mentioned that the fish
had decayed and, on p. 73, that on 9 October 1869 he collected
again, himself, in Dengchigou, the chepadze and silien-yu
and two small species of loaches. One of the loaches
is most likely C. dabryi. Page 75, David mentioned that a
man sent to fish in the river of "Ta-hong-miao", 2 days away,
did not bring anything new. I consider that the type locality
of Cl. dabryi and Ch. davidi is Dengchigou, not Qiaoqi.
