Etymology: Microcobitis:Name from the Greek word ‘micros’ for small (used as prefix here) and the generic name Cobitis (type genus of Cobitidae), in which Microcobitis was originally placed due to the similar shape of the lamina circularis in males; stilaspi:Name 'stilaspi' from the Greek word meaning 'in the mud', in reference to the habitat of the new species. A noun in apposition.
This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: post dorsal body is conspicuously twisted upwards, then horizontal again, with a mid-dorsal swelling forming a protuberance above the end of the base of the anal fin in males; pectoral fin reaches about ½ to of distance to pelvic-fin origin in males; one black spot at each upper and lower extremities of caudal-fin base; and the origin of the pelvic fin is under the base of branched dorsal-fin rays 1-3 (Ref. 138333). Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
