It is now a monotypic genus,[3] as the other three former members (sonlaensis, niulanjiangensis and trilineatus) are now in Schistura.[2] The former subspecies C. d. microphthalma is now Triplophysa microphthalma.[4]
The genus name is an allusion to Claea, an Oread mountain nymph from Greek mythology.[4]
