Common name. Adana bleak.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Alburnus in Mediterranean basin by: ● 60–66 total lateral line scales / ○ 11–14 scale rows between lateral line and dorsal origin / ○ 5–6 scale rows between lateral line and anal origin / ○ 10–12½ branched anal rays. Only known individual 67 mm SL.
Distribution. Türkiye: Seyhan drainage.
Habitat. No data.
Biology. No data.
Conservation status. Extinct; not found since the 1940s. Reasons for extinction unknown.
Remarks. Has been confused with A. kotschyi , which also occurs in Seyhan drainage, but both species are well differentiated. It can be distinguished from A. sellal , recently reported to be invasive in Ceyhan, by having 60–66 total lateral line scales (as opposed to the usual 66–86).
