Remarks. Alburnoides velioglui is cooccurring with A. eminae and A. diclensis in the same basin (Kaya, 2020a; Çiçek et al., 2020). Recent molecular findings suggest possible synonymisation; therefore, it is probable that Alburnoides velioglui is a synonym of A. eminae ( Bektas et al., 2019) . Future detailed studies are needed to clarify this hypothesis.

Alburnus adanensis Battalgazi [Battalgil], 1944 [E] ― Adana bleak/Inci balığı

Taxonomy. Original description: Alburnus sellal adanensis Battalgazi 1944: 302 [Lower Seyhan River, near Adana, southern Türkiye; syntype: IUSHM 2017-1368 . Author also seen as Battalgazi]. ― Synonyms: None. ― Revisions: None. ― Illustration: None .

Remarks. Alburnus adanensis is described from Adana Province and is sympatric with Alburnus kotschyi . However, Battalgil did not compare it with A. kotschyi in the original description. He is probably not aware of A. kotschyi . Therefore, A. adanensis is the synonym of A. kotschyi . According to Freyhof et al. (2018) A. adanensis is extinct. However, there has been no environmental change in the area where this species is distributed that would cause the extinction of any fish species, especially a species belonging to genus Alburnus with high environmental tolerance.
