Syntypes : MZUT 677 (4), NMW 55516 (2). Fig. 198. Distribution map of Acanthobrama urmianus . Fig. 199. Alburnoides damghani . Photograph from Cheshme Ali spring, Kavir basin. Alburnoides bipunctatus armeniensis Dadikyan [M. G.] 1972: 566 [550]; Type locality: Rivers Arpa, Vorotan, Vedi, Marmarik, Kasakh and their tributaries, basin of river Araks, Armenia . Syntypes : (434) ZIN 37502 (10). Common name : Pr: Khayateh, Lapek, En: Spirlin. Diagnosis : Eyes small, orbit diameter shorter than the interorbital width, caudal fin with pointed lobes and fin being clearly forked, a sharp scaleless keel behind the pelvic fins along the abdomen to the anus, a triangular head, snout slightly rounded and an upper jaw longer than the lower jaw, a tip of the mouth cleft on the level below the lower margin of the pupil, 2.5–4.2 pharyngeal teeth, most common vertebral formulae are 20 + 20, 20 + 21 and 21 + 20. Meristic characters : D: III 8, A: III 13–16, P: 13–15, V: 7, GR: 6–8, LL: 44–56, TV: 40–42. Distribution : Caspian Sea basin ( Fig. 202 ). Occurring in the western parts of the Caspian Sea basin, it is found in Aras drainage, Balekhlu chay, Qarasu, Kalibar rud and Saghezchi Rivers. Taxonomy : Berg (1949) was regarded as a Caspian Sea basin subspecies of Alburnoides bipunctatus but Fricke et al. (2007) give it full rank species. Conservation : IUCN: Least Concern ( Freyhof 2014b ). Fig. 200. Distribution map of Alburnoides damghani . Fig. 201. Alburnoides eichwaldii . Photograph from Qarasu River, Caspian basin. Alburnoides holciki Coad and Bogutskaya, 2012 – Native ( Figs. 203 , 204 ) Alburnoides holciki Coad [B. W.] & Bogutskaya [N. G.] 2012: 44; Type locality: Hari River at Herat , 34°20'N , 62°12'E , Afganistan . Holotype : SNM 6788 ( 101.8 mm TL). Paratypes : SNM 6788 (26). Plus non-type material. Alburnoides parhami Mousavi-Sabet [H.], Vatandoust [S.] & Doadrio [I.] 2015: 315; Type locality: Baba-Aman Stream, Atrak River drainage, south-eastern Caspian Sea basin, Khorasan-e-Shomali Province, Iran , 37°29'N , 57°26'E . Holotype : VMFC-ALP3-H. Paratypes : GUIC, VMFC. Common name : Pr: Khayateh-e Holicik, Lapek, En: Holcik’s Spirlin. Diagnosis : A well-defined, sharp, short, slightly pointed snout, a terminal mouth with the tip of the mouth cleft on a level with the upper half of the pupil, a large eye (orbit width about equal to interorbital width), 2.5–4.2 pharyngeal teeth, most frequent vertebral formulae 20 + 21, 20 + 22 and 19 + 21. Meristic characters : D: III 7–9 (8), A: III 11–14, P: 12–16, V: 6–8, GR: 6–14, LL: 47–57, TV: 40–42 (41). Distribution : Hari and Caspian basins ( Fig. 205 ). This species occurs in Kashaf and Hari River system in Northeast of Iran as well as Atrak River. Fig. 202. Distribution map of Alburnoides eichwaldii . Fig. 203. Alburnoides holciki . Photograph from Harirud River, Hari basin. Taxonomy : A. parhami is distinguished from populations of A. holciki with less than 0.4% genetic distance in the COI barcode region from type localities (own unpublished data). In addition, no diagnostic characteristic was found to distinguish both species. Therefore we consider A. parhami as a junior synonym of A. holciki . Conservation : IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Data Deficient. In Iran it is found only in the output of the Iran-Turkmenistan Friendship Dam (= Doosti Reservoir Dam), to the best of our knowledge, and very little is known about its distribution in Turkmenistan or Afghanistan . We therefore classified it as Data Deficient and did not carry out conservation assessment.
