Etymology: Schindleria: Named for ichthyologist Otto Schindler, 1906-1959 (Prof. Dr. Konrad Schindler, pers. comm Dec. 2017); pietschmanni: Named for ichthyologist Victor Pietschmann (1881-1956) (Prof. Dr. Konrad Schindler, pers. comm Dec. 2017).
Eponymy: Otto Schindler (1906–1959) was an ichthyologist at Zoologische Staatssammlung München, Germany, where he was the first post-war Curator of Ichthyology (1949). [...] Dr Viktor Pietschmann (1881–1956) was an Austrian ichthyologist who worked as Curator of the Fish Collection at the Vienna Museum of Natural History (1919–1946) where Machan also worked.
