Oxynoemacheilus chomanicus Kamangar [B. B.], Prokofiev [A. M.], Ghaderi [E.] & Nalbant [T. T.] 2014: 46; Type locality: Baneh River, (Korhe-Pazi sta. 8), Baneh, Kurdistan, Iran, 36°01'03"N, 45°55'20"E. Holotype: FCFUK 176. Paratypes: FCFUK 177– 209 (33), ZMUU 23066 (4).

Common name: Pr: Loch-e Choman, Sagmahi-e Choman En: Choman stone loach.

Diagnosis: Similar to O. zagrosesis , but body slenderer. Body without a hump, regular transverse bands on body, larger posterior air-bladder capsule, weakly emarginated caudal fin.

Meristic characters: D: 6–8, A: 4–5, P: 9–11, V: 6–7, LL: complete, SC: whole body, DP: moderately, PA: absent, SOG: present.

Distribution: Tigris basin ( Fig. 303). Found in Choman River system.

Taxonomy: May be synonym of O. zagrosensis . It seems this difference between them is a normal variation of morphological characters, in addition genetic difference among them is low.

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Data Deficient. In addition to Iran and Iraq, it is probably present in Turkey too. Not enough information is available about its population sizes and distribution range. Therefore, we could not objectively assess its conservation status.
