Gobio comprises approximately 50 species distributed across a broad range of geographical locations, from Portugal to Korea.Most species (36) are found in the West Palearctic, with 14 in West Asia. Gobio are common in the Caucasus and Central Anatolia, where their species numbers require critical revision. The species of Lake Tuz basin ( G. hettitorum , G. gymnostethus , G. insuyanus , G. microlepidotus ) are very closely related, and it would be beneficial to test the morphological characters proposed to distinguish these species, which may be conspecific.A similar situation exists for all Caucasian species, where G. artvinicus may be conspecific with G. caucasicus . European species, including
