Barbus microlepis Keyserling [E. Von] 1861: 4 [7]; Type locality: River near Anardeh [Anar Darreh, 32°46'N, 61°39'E], between Herat and Lasch   GoogleMaps , Afghanistan. Holotype (unique): not saved.

Aspiostoma zarudnyi Nikolskii [A. M.] 1897: 346; Type locality: Neizar marsh in Seistan [Sistan], Iran. Holotype (unique): ZIN 11115 View Materials .

Oreinus anjac Fowler [H. W.] & Steinitz   GoogleMaps [H.] 1956: 267; Type locality: Zabol, 31°02'N, 61°30'E, eastern Iran. Holotype (unique): ANSP 71949 About ANSP .

Common name: Pr: Shirmahi, Khajoo, En: Sistan Marinka.

Diagnosis: Similar to S. intermedius but is distinguished by much smaller paired fins, longer and narrower branchial isthmus and the scales slightly enlarged at the base of all fins.

Meristic characters: D: III–IV 7–8, A: III 5, P: 17–18, V: 8–9 (9), GR: 24–41 (34–36), LL: 93–114, TV: 47–49.

Distribution: Sistan basin ( Fig. 165). Found in Hamon, Chahnime lakes and Hirmand River.

Taxonomy: Bianco and Bǎnǎrescu (1982) placed in Schizopyge but Coad (1981) transferred to Schizothorax .

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Data Deficient. This species occurs in Afghanistan and Iran. There is no information available about the distribution and the conservation status of the populations in Afghanistan. In Iran, it is distributed in a few close lakes (Chahnime lakes), in the Sistan basin, but more studies are needed to assess the population size, quality of habitat or possible threats affecting it. Therefore, we believe more data are needed to objectively assess its conservation status.
