Family Nemacheilidae

(6 genera, 48 species)

Esmaeili et al. (2017 2018) reported Oxynoemacheilus argyrogramma and O. frenatus (based on preserved specimens in IMNRF-UT) from Tigris basin. Abdoli (2016) reported O. araxsensis , O. argyrogramma , and O. frenatus from Iran by providing photos. From these, O. araxsensis is endemic to the uppermost Euphrates drainage and never found in Iran (see Freyhof 2016a). Published photos in Abdoli (2016) belong to O. brandtii (see page 155). Also to date O. argyrogramma has not been confirmed from Iran. Abdoli (2016) used O. karunensis photos once as O. frenatus and again as O. argyrogramma (see Abdoli 2016, pages: 156, 158). We checked O. frenatus specimens preserved in IMNRF-UT, theses specimens correspond to O. hanae (sampled from Goleyn River, Tigris basin, 34°16'09"N, 45°56'29"E). In Keivany et al. (2016), page 120, a picture of Turcinoemacheilus hafezi is shown as O. tigris . In this work O. angorae (Steindachner 1897) is reported from Caspian, Urmia and Namak basins. This species is distributed in Turkey: western and central Anatolian Black Sea basin ( Freyhof 2016 a, Eschmeyer et al. 2018).

In meristic characters simple rays of dorsal and anal fins for this family are not counted as they are deeply embedded.
