Liniparhomaloptera disparis - sometimes L. disparis disparis for good measure.
Nice loaches, these. I lost mine by treating an Ich outbreak with even very small doses - like 25% recommended - of an Ich medication that combined malachite and formalin. Be very cautious if you must ever treat for Ich.

From the color pattern, more likely Homaloptera smithi.

I would say smithi, too.
