Oxynoemacheilus ciceki View in CoL
Common name. Sultan loach.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Oxynoemacheilus in Central Anatolia and rivers flowing to Bay of Antalya by: ● scales absent / ○ caudal–peduncle depth 1.1–2.2 times in caudal–peduncle length / ○ caudal slightly emarginate / ○ flank with roundish blotches in variable size, without bars / ○ a small median incision in upper lip / ○ pelvic axillary lobe very small or absent / ○ lateral line complete. Size up to 60 mm SL.
Oxynoemacheilus cilicicus ; lower Seyhan drainage, Türkiye; 50 mm SL.
Conservation status. VU; appears to be declining within its small range.
Remarks. Oxynoemacheilus chomanicus , O. zarzianus , O. zagrosensis , and loaches identified as O. frenatus are superficially very similar and occur in Lesser Zab drainage. The distribution of these species needs to be better known, and identification may be difficult.
