Capoeta shajariani View in CoL
Common name. Karkheh scraper.
Diagnosis: Distinguished from other species of Capoeta in Karkheh, Karun and Zohreh drainages by: ○ flank beige, golden or brown without small black spots, juveniles and some adults individuals with large black blotches / ○ 70–80 scales in lateral-line series / ○ last unbranched dorsal ray moderately ossified, shorter than head, serrated / ○ no groove in front of nares / ○ usually 9½ branched dorsal rays / ○ 13–15 scales between lateral line and dorsal origin / ○ 9–11 scales between anal origin and lateral line /
Distribution. Iran: Coastal rivers from Helleh south to Kol. Also, found in endorheic basins of Kor, Esfahan and Sirjan, Jazmurian, Kerman, and Lut.
Habitat. A wide range of moderately to rapidly flowing streams and rivers with sand, gravel, and rock substrates.
Biology. No data.
Conservation status. LC.
Remarks. Analysis of COI DNA sequences places C. raghazensis , described from the Reghez Canyon in Kol drainage, within C. saadii . As morphological characters proposed to distinguish the two species could not be confirmed, C. raghazensis is treated as a synonym of C. saadii .

○ 25–31 circumpedunclular scales / ○ 15–19 gill rakers, 11–14 on lower limb / ○ head depth at eye 105–126 % of postorbital length. Size up to 450 mm SL.
Distribution. Iran: Gamasiab, Dinevar, Razavar, Kashkan, Kahman, and Seymareh in Karkheh drainage.
Habitat. Slow to moderate flowing rivers with gravel beds.
Biology. Feeds on detritus, periphyton, and occasionally small invertebrates.
