Etymology: Beaufortia: Because of Beaufort, he worked with Bleeker in an Atlas of Ichthyology from India and Malaysia, 1902-1962 (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Professor Lieven Ferdinand de Beaufort (1879–1968) was a Dutch zoologist whose main interests were first fish and then birds. [...] Liu Ch’eng-Chao (1900–1976) was a Chinese herpetologist who graduated at Peking University (1929) and then taught at the University of the North-East in Shenyang.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00325 - 0.02683), b=3.04 (2.80 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
