Egirdira comprises small fish that inhabit densely vegetated streams and springs. The single species is endemic to Central Anatolia. It is distinguished from all other Leuciscids in West Asia by having the pectoral rays 2–3 thicker and slightly slanted upward, with a conspicuous downward angle at the distal end of the thickened part in the male. This character is shared with the European genera Pelasgus and Delminichthys , both related to Egirdira . Further reading. Freyhof et al 2022 (generic name, identification).
