Squalius latus Keyserling [E. Von] 1861: 21 [24]; Type locality: Heri-rud River near Herat, Afghanistan. Holotype (unique): No types saved.

Squalius transcaspiensis Berg [L. S.] 1898: 16 [3]; Type locality: Apparently Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, not Ashgabat on the Tedschent River. Syntypes: (many) ZMMU (not found in 2002).

Common name: Pr: Aroos Mahi-e Harirud, En: Transcaspian dace.

Diagnosis: Low count of lateral line scale (fewer than 45) and distribution identify this species in northeastern Iran.

Meristic characters: D: III 7–8 (7), A: III 9–10 (9), P: 13–15, V: 9–10 (9), GR: 8–11, LL: 43–44, TV: 39–41.

Distribution: Hari basin ( Fig. 269). Only found in Hari River.

Taxonomy: Berg (1949) placed in Leuciscus but our unpublished work (molecular and morphology) showed this species belong to Squalius .

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Data Deficient. This species is distributed in Afghanistan and Iran. There is no information available about the distribution and the conservation status of the species in Afghanistan. In Iran it is found only in Hari River. We believe more data are needed to objectively assess its conservation status; therefore, we classified it as Data Deficient.
