Oxynoemacheilus pantheroides View in CoL
Common name. Golan loach.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Oxynoemacheilus in southern Levant by: ○ caudal deeply emarginate / ○ no prominent dorsal crest on caudal peduncle / ○ suborbital groove present in male / ○ lateral line usually incomplete, terminating between vertical of dorsal- and anal base / ○ back and flank densely covered by scales. Size up to 60 mm SL, likely to grow larger.
Distribution. Israel: Upper Jordan drainage, possibly also in upper reaches of Jordan in Lebanon.
Habitat. Standing and slow-flowing waters of springs and streams with mud or gravel bottoms.
Biology. No data.
Conservation status. NE; due to very limited knowledge of this species.
Remarks. Oxynoemacheilus doriae from Israel may be an additional valid species, and further research is needed to test this hypothesis.
