Alburnoides nicolausi Bogutskaya & Coad, 2009

Distribution in the area. Endemic. Simareh drainage in Lorestan, a tributary of the Karkheh in the Zagros Mountains.

Taxonomic notes. Molecular data characters do not distinguish A. nicolausi and A. idignensis, which both occur in the Karkheh drainage. For the time being, both species are accepted as valid but it is recommended to restudy the morphological differences between both species described by Bogutskaya and Coad (2009).
