Abstract
Barbus urmianus from the Mahabad-Chai River in Urmia Lake basin, is distinguished
from its congeners in the B. lacerta group by a well-developed middle pad of the lower lip, a shorter
postdorsal length (25.2–42.0 vs. 46.4–60.7% SL), long anal fin (11.0–23.0 vs. 6.0–10.4% SL), short
dorsal-fin base (9.2–15.6 vs. 16.1–22.6% SL), less scales in the caudal peduncle (14–23 vs. 25–35),
and 64–85 scales on the lateral line (vs. 52–70).
