Schizothorax prophylax has been erroneously described based on large size specimens of C. pestai and actually the genus Schizothorax never exists in Turkey. Moreover, we were unable to find any differences between
Capoeta mauricii, Schizothorax prophylax and C. pestai, therefore, we conclude all three names define the same species, and treat S. prophylax and Capoeta mauricii as junior synonyms of
C. pestai. |
