Acanthobrama persidis ; Pirbarnoo spring, Iran; ~ 100 mm SL.
/ ○ ventral keel without free skin fold in front of anus / ○ pharyngeal teeth in two rows / ○ last unbranched dorsal ray soft, not stiffened / ○ 35−43 total lateral-line scales / ○ 10−14 gill rakers / ○ 7−9½ branched anal rays / ○ 7½, rarely 6½, branched dorsal rays. Size up to 113 mm SL.
Distribution. Iran: Upper Kor basin (Khosroshin, Ghadamgah, Malosjan, and Beyza springs), Helleh, Mond, and rarely in Kol drainages (Golabi spring).
