Systematics
See comments in Kottelat 2012:84.
Luo et al. (2023) propose that this species (together with three others: the hypogean species Troglonectes acridorsalis, Oreonectes anophthalmus, Heminoemacheilus hyalinus and the epigean Heminoemacheilus parva be relocated in to the new genus Karstsinnectes. However, there is some uncertainty that this generic name was properly defined and further information is required.
The genus Karstsinnectes currently has seven species (K.acridorsalis, K. cehengensis, K. parvus, K. longzhouensis, K. anophthalmus, K. hyalinus and K. daxinensis). These are in two major clades, one containing K. acridorsalis and K. cehengensis, and the second containing K. parvus, K. longzhouensis, K. anophthalmus and K. daxinensis. The position of the seventh species, K. hyalinus, has not been ascertained.
