The only representative of this genus in the Volga River drainage ( Bogutskaya and Coad 2009), identified by a small black spot on each side of lateral line pore and 12–17 branched anal-fin rays. Although included in the Russian Red List since 2001 ( Danilov-Danilyan 2001), it is still rather abundant in the Moksha River ( Ruchin et al. 2007, 2009). This species lives only in rivers, and its abundance in the Moksha drainage increases forward to downstream (12.8% in the river on a distance of 26 km from the source up to 38.5% in the river from 301 to 500 km from the source); more abundant (35.8%) in the portion between 26 and 100 km from the source of river.
