Material examined. Table 1; Fig. 7D.

Long and laterally compressed body shape; presence of one black spot on the caudal-fin base. This species is morphologically similar to the Siberian loach, which inhabits rivers and is uncommon in other types of water bodies (recorded in only one landlocked oxbow). Unlike the Siberian loach, C. taenia was observed in all types of rivers. The abundance in rivers varies in the range 0.9–5% and the occurrence rate in the range 23.1–54.7%.
