Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 11; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. This species is similar to Oxynoemacheilus zagrosesis , but with body with more slender dorsalventral aspect and without a hump, transverse bands on body more regular and well-delimited, posterior processes of bony air-bladder capsule larger and directed posteriorly. This differs from other congeners by the combination of the following characters: complete lateral line; weakly emarginated caudal fin; and the very large processes of bony air-bladder capsule, and the process being triangular in shape and directed posteriorly (Ref. 94765).
