🐟 Physical Description
Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 11; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. This species is similar to Oxynoemacheilus zagrosesis , but with body with more slender dorsalventral aspect and without a hump, transverse bands on body more regular and well-delimited, posterior processes of bony air-bladder capsule larger and directed posteriorly.
