Description of a new species of Hemigrammocapoeta (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from Lake Işıklı, Turkey

Abstract

Hemigrammocapoeta menderesensis is distinguished from all other species of Hemigrammocapoeta in Anatolia by the following combination of characters (none unique to the species): lateral line incomplete; 6-17 perforated scales and 36-41 +1-2 scales in lateral series; 7½-8½ scale rows between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin, 3-4 scale rows between lateral series and anal-fin origin; dorsal fin commonly with 7½ branched rays; anal fin with 5½ branched rays; 15-17 gill rakers on the first brachial arch; pharyngeal teeth 2.4.5-5.3.3; mouth small, subterminal, horseshoe shaped and without barbel; lips developed and somewhat fleshy; upper lip not covering nostril gape; lower lip with two lateral lobes and median pad; lateral lobes smaller and shorter than half width of median pad; numerous papillae on lower and upper lips.

Garra roseae, a new species from the Makran region in southern Iran (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

“…Dark grey dots at pectoral-fin base in some individuals. Within the frame of this study, we examined materials of the extirpated populations of G. klatti from Central Anatolia (ZMH 320: Lake Gölcük, ZMH 1122, Lake Eğirdir) and found these to indistinguishable from Hemigrammocapoeta menderesensis described by Küçük et al (2015). Therefore, we follow Geiger et al (2014) and treat Hemigrammocapoeta menderesensis as a synonym of Garra klatti.…”

“…Gill rakers are counted on the outer margin of the first gill arch. Garra kemali and G. klatti are redescribed by Küçük et al (2015) and Yoğurtçuoğlu et. al.…”
