contents <p><b><i>Schistura</i></b></p><p><i>Schistura</i> is a highly polyphyletic genus that encompasses approximately 250 species. The type species of <i>Schistura</i> is <i>S. rupecula</i>, found in northern India. The genus is thought to be widely distributed and speciose in the southern Himalayas, extending from Pakistan to China. Loaches identified as <i>Schistura</i> are widespread in India and Sri Lanka and occur all over tropical Asia and Indonesia. They are especially speciose in Indochina. Most loaches placed in <i>Schistura</i> will be recognised in different genera in the future, and the genus needs a fundamental revision. In West Asia, several loaches had been described in <i>Schistura</i>, including <i>S. ceyhanensis</i>, <i>S. chrysicristinae</i>, <i>S. evreni</i>, and <i>S. seyhanicola</i>, all from Türkiye. Except for <i>S. chrysicristinae</i>, these were later placed in <i>Oxynoemacheilus</i>. <i>Schistura chrysicristinae</i> was placed in <i>Paraschistura</i> based on the characters provided in its original description. Upon rediscovery in 2021, mitochondrial DNA data indicated a close relationship between <i>S. chrysicristinae</i> and <i>S. rupecula</i>. Consequently, <i>S. chrysicristinae</i> was reclassified within the genus <i>Schistura</i>. <i>Schistura chrysicristinae</i> is found approximately 3,000 km northeast of the genus’s known range.</p>
