The species was originally described as Abramis pekinensis by the Russian physician, zoologist and ichthyologist Stepan Ivanovich Basilewsky with its type locality given as the rivers flowing into Tschili Bay.[2] In 1865 Pieter Bleeker proposed the monotypicgenus Parabramis for this taxon.[1] The genus name is derived from the Greek word para, meaning "the side of ", and the Old French word breme, a type of freshwater fish.[5]
