Homalopteroides smithi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Homalopteroides. [1] It can be found in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins and Malay Peninsula. [2]
The fish is named in honor of ichthyologist Hugh M. Smith (1865-1941), then at the Siam Department of Fisheries, in what is now Thailand. [3]
Other common names include the Green Gecko Loach or Shi's Flatfin Loach (a direct translation of the fish's chinese name '史氏平鰭鰍').
