Etymology: Etheostoma: Greek, etheo = to strain + Greek, stoma = mouth; Rafinesque said "various mouths", but Jordan and Evermann suggest the name might have been intended as "Heterostoma (Ref. 45335); boschungi: Named after an ichthyologist at the Univ. of Alabama, H. T. Boschung (Ref. 10294).
Eponymy: Dr Herbert T ‘Bo’ Boschung (1925–2015) was Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of Alabama. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Max length : 7.8 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5723); common length : 4.6 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 12193)

Occur in gravel-bottomed pools, runs of creeks, small rivers (Ref. 5723) and streams (Ref. 10294); usually found in debris. Spawn in headwaters (Ref. 5723, 10294). Adults feed on aquatic isopods, amphipods (Hyalella), mayfly nymphs (Stenonema, Leptophlebia), midge larvae, and limpets (Ref. 10294). Eggs are found attached to the substrate unguarded (Ref. 7043).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00301 - 0.01516), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
