Distribution in the area.

The species is recorded in B-20 canal located very close to the border with Armenia. Rhodeus amarus was recorded from Lake Urmia and Caspian Sea basins in Iran ( Derzhavin 1934; Holčík and Oláh 1992; Kiabi et al. 1999; Abbasi et al. 1999; Abdoli, 2000; Ghasemi et al. 2015; Coad 2018). Probably it also occurs in Aras River in Armenia (Pipoyan, 1996).
