Etymology: Schistura: Greek, schizein = to divide + Greek, oura = tail; an allusion to forked caudal fins (Ref. 45335); greenei: Named for Richard Greene of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, for his persistent support over
many years. Treated as a patronym in apposition.
Eponymy: Richard Greene was a Library Technician at the Smithsonian Institution Entomology Library. He was honoured for his “…persistent support over many years”. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 12; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 38. Schistura greenei differs from all other species of Schistura within the Salween and neighboring drainages by the following combination of characters: lateral line complete; caudal fin with 8+7 branched rays; pectoral fin with 8-9 rays; pelvic fin with 7-8 rays; 38 vertebrae; lower jaw not notched; HL 19-20% SL, head depth at eye 39-47% HL; head depth at nape 47-52% HL; maximum head width 59-69% HL; caudal peduncle depth 39-49% HL; caudal peduncle length 66-79% HL; body depth 54-67% HL; prepelvic length 50-51% SL; pre-anus length 69-74% SL; 17-21 bars, predorsally inconspicuous; and a broad brown stripe along dorsal midline of the caudal peduncle (Ref. 116524).
