Before recent expansion, it was formerly a monotypic genus.[1] Other former members (C. sonlaensis and C. trilineatus) are now in Schistura.[2] The former subspecies C. d. microphthalma is now Triplophysa microphthalma, along with Triplophysa niulanjiangensis[3]
The genus name is an allusion to Claea, an Oread mountain nymph from Greek mythology.[3]
