The species differs from all other Paracobitis species by combination of the following characters: stout and elongated body; large size, up to 288 mm; a fully squamated body; slit like posterior nare; and midlateral series of large, irregular set and shaped dark, brown blotches. P. rhadinaea is endemic to Sistan, Iran.
