Common name. Kura chub.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Squalius in Caspian basin by: ○ anal yellowish, pale-orange or hyaline in life / ○ few or without black pigments in anal in preserved individuals / ○ 43–46+1–2 lateral-line scales / ○ 7–11 gill rakers / ○ posteriormost point at tip of anal at 3 rd or 5 th branched ray / ○ mouth terminal or subterminal in adults / ○ head length 24–28 % SL / ○ eye diameter 18–23 % HL / ○ 8½, very rarely 9½ branched anal rays / ○ anal height 17–19 % SL. Size up to 220 mm SL, likely to grow larger.

Distribution. Caspian basin: Kura drainage.
Habitat. Fast-flowing streams with cobble and gravel bottoms.
Biology. No data.
