( Fig. 10) Cobitis evreniErk'akan, Özeren & Nalbant, 2008a: 112, fig. 1 ( typelocality: Turkey: Kömür stream, Göksun, Kahramanmaraş, 38.014 36.508).
Material examined.HUIC uncat., 1, 78 mm SL; Turkey: Kahramanmaraşprov.: stream Kömür, 38.014 36.508.— FFR05530, 1, 75 mm SL; Turkey: Kahramanmaraşprov.: stream Terbüzek about 2 kmsouth of Göksun, 38.001 36.598. Material used in molecular genetic analysis. HUIC 299TK-300TK; Turkey: Kahramanmaraşprov.: stream Göksuneast of Göksun, at road to Yantepe, 38.024 36.515. (GenBank accession numbers: KJ552911, KJ553207).
Diagnosis. Cobitis evreniis distinguished from C. battalgilaeand C. bilseliby the pigmentation in Z4 being fused into a dark-brown stripe reaching from above the pectoral-fin base until the anus or beyond (vs. blotches in Z4 usually vertically elongate or squarish, often dissociated into a band of small irregularly-shaped blotches and spots), lacking the pelvic axillary lobe (vs. often present, absent in some individuals), lacking the black spot at the uppermost caudal-fin base (vs. present) and having two laminae circularis in the male (vs. one in C. bilseli). It is distinguished from C. elazigensisby Z4 formed by a dark-brown stripe reaching from above the pectoral-fin base until the anus or beyond (vs. Z4 organised by blotches), lacking the pelvic axillary lobe (vs. present) and lacking the black spot at the uppermost caudal-fin base and lacking the axillary pelvic lobe (vs. present).
Distribution. Cobitis evreniseems to have a very restricted range in the middle Ceyhan River drainage where it is found in the streams Göksun, Savrun and Hamus.
Remarks.Molecular data ( Fig. 1) place Cobitis evreninot into one of the species groups mentioned before. Molecular data presented by Perdices et al. (2018)place C. evreniinto the C. lineaspecies group, at a very basal position. See below for details to distinguish C. evrenifrom other species in the C. lineaspecies group and from other Cobitisspecies found in the Asian Mediterranean Sea basin. Cobitis evrenihas not been found in the lower Ceyhan, which is inhabited by C. aliyeaedescribed below. Based on DNA barcoding Cobitis evreniis well separated from all other included Cobitisand by a minimum K2P distance of 7.0% to C. elazigensis, also supported as PTP and mPTP entity.
