G. Duncker; 12 July 1926. - ZMH uncat., 3 alch.; Albaum near Altenhundem-Lennestadt, 

 Germany; collector unknown; 16 October 1991. - USNM 276160, 10 alch.; T. stura di 

 Lanzo, Cirie Comm., Toprino Prov., 0.5 KM upstream bridge on the Road Cirio Robas- 

 somero, Italy; M. Banio; 27 April 1984. 



Diagnosis (amended from Berg 1949, Yang & Huang 1964) 



Primary lamellae in olfactory organ 15; no longitudinal lateral stripe; more than 10 ver- 

 tical bars on side in adults (in young, vertical bars absent, but lateral stripe present on 

 sides); body lateral line complete. Breast scales bearing tubercles in breeding females. Tu- 

 bercles on dorsum of head large and few; 4 or 5 large tubercles on dorsal rim of orbit; 

 very high density of tubercles on opercle; tubercles present on caudal fin in breeding fe- 

 male; gas bladder slender; intestine short; peritoneum silver; pharyngeal teeth in two rows. 



Description (Tab. 3) 



An Eurasian species of Phoxinus with average standard length (adults) about 60 mm, ma- 

 ximum standard length of 125 mm (Berg 1949). Head large, broad, and robust; its length 

 25% of standard length; its width 51% of its length. Snout elongated, its length 28% of 

 head length, 102% of orbit length. Eye lateral on head; orbit length 27% of head length.
