Leuciscus souffia

Material and dimensions
.—See
Table 2
.
Description
.—The general shape of the four investigated
Leuciscus
species
is ovate to rectangular with a steeply dropping posterior margin. The regular shape is generated by the medial and lateral margins that run bilaterally symmetrical to each other and by the vertical posterior margin. In all species, the edges are generally well developed.
Remarks
.—The lapilli of
L. idus
differ from the three other
Leuciscus
species
because of their pointed, strongly marked anterolateral edge, whereas the anteromedial edge is only weakly developed.
