Etymology: Schistura: Greek, schizein = to divide + Greek, oura = tail; an allusion to forked caudal fins (Ref. 45335); laterimaculata: From lateralis (Latin): on the side of the body and maculatus (Latin): blotted (Ref. 39226).

Issue
This species is questionably a synonym of Schistura nicholsi (Smith, 1933) in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870) following Kottelat (2001: Ref. 43281). Please send references, or more studies are needed.
