Common name: Pr: Siyah mahi Esfahan, En: Esfahan scarper.
Diagnosis: Diagnosis distinguished from other large-scaled Capoeta by more gill rakers on the first arch (20–25, mean 23) and larger scales in lateral line (32–46, mean 42).
Meristic characters: D: III–IV 7–8 (8), A: III 5, P: 15–19 (17), V: 8–9 (8), GR: 20–25 (22–23), LL: 32–46 (37–40), TV: 39–40.
Distribution: Esfahan basins ( Fig. 78). Found in Zayandehrud River tributary. Previous report of this species from Caspian and Urmia Lake basin is related to C. razii .
Taxonomy: Bianco and Bǎnǎrescu (1982) regard as subspecies of C. capoeta but Jouladeh-Roudbar et al. (2015b) give it full species rank.
Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Vulnerable B2b(i,ii,iii)c(i,ii,iii). This species is known only from the middle part of Zayanderud River (with an AOO of less than 2,000 km 2 but more than 500 km 2) with threats related to habitat loss, degradation due to agricultural and industrial pollution. Therefore, we classified it as Vulnerable.
