Comments: China, Arabia, Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, northern and central India, Iran, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, southern Russia, Syria ( Daday 1914; Hu 1993a; Dobrynina 2004). Redescribed by Dobrynina (2003 2004). Naganawa and Orgiljanova (2000) synonymized E. paralayangensis with E. orientalis . This species should be compared with E. davidi , E. irritans , E. zugmayeri , E. latirostris , E. klunzingeri , and E. saharicus . Dobrynina (2004) suggests that E. orientalis was introduced to the eastern European Steppe Zone by fish farming, through fish larvae imported from Transcaucasia. This species should be compared to E. davidi and E. sahlbergi . Rogers and Padhye (2015) suggest that Daday’s (1915) E. orientalis record from tropical India may be a misidentification.
