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.

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).
