Cyprinion milesi (Day, 1880) – Native ( Fig. 111 )

Barbus milesi Day [F.] 1880: 228 [6]; Type locality: Trál, Afghanistan. Syntypes: (2)?NMW 52736 (1). Non-types, as a variety: (3).

Barbus bampurensis Nikolskii [A. M.] 1900: 410 [36]; Type locality: Bampur, Iran. Syntypes: ZIN 11715 (5).

Scaphiodon daukesi Zugmayer [E.] 1912: 596; Type locality: Irrigation channels and pools near Panjgur, Baluchistan, Pakistan. Syntypes: NMW 19784 [ex ZSM] (1);?ZSI F8028/1 [ex ZSM] (1), F8032/1 [ex ZSM] (1); ZSM [old collection] (orig. 10) destroyed in WW II.

Barbus baschakirdi Holly [M.] 1929: 62 [1]; Type locality: Guadjk , southeastern Iran. Holotype (unique): NMW 13798 .

Common name: Pr: Sabzug, Lutak sharghi, En: Eastern lotak.

Diagnosis: Oblique mouth which longer in lateral view than C. watsoni .

Meristic characters: D: III 10–13, A: II 7, P: 14– 16, V: 7–8, GR: 13–16, LL: 34–39, TV: 37–39.

Distribution: Makran basin ( Fig. 112). Confirmed specimen recorded from Sarbaz River. Esmaeili et al. (2017 2018) reported this species from Mashkid, Hamun-e Jaz Murian and Hormuz basins which we think is a misidentification and is actually another species in this genus.

Taxonomy: Talwar and Jhingaran (1991) placed in Cyprinion .

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Data Deficient. The status of its populations and distribution range are not clear, and our own sampling expeditions did not confirm its occurrence in the mentioned basins. There is no information on the species from the neighboring countries either. Consequently, we believe that more data are needed to evaluate its conservation category.
