Diagnosis

Capoeta razii differs from its congeners in Iran by a following combination of characters, none of them unique: one pair of barbels; pre-dorsal length equal to postdorsal length; maxillary barbel slightly smaller than eye’s horizontal diameter and reach to posterior margin of orbit; intranasal length slightly shorter than snout length; 46-54 lateral line scales, 7-9 scales between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line, and 6-7 scales between anal-fin origin and lateral line (Ref.

116760).

Description: dorsal fin with 3-4 unbranched and 7-8 branched rays; anal fin with 2-3 unbranched rays, 6 branched rays; pectoral fin with 16-19 branched rays; pelvic fin with 1 unbranched and 9-10 branched rays (Ref. 116760).
