Comments: Reported to be endemic to the western Greece district from the River Thiamis including Epirus southward to Ionian Peloponnese (absent in eastern Peloponnese and apparently in the River Evrotas in Lakonia) (Ref. 31730). Locally abundant and quite widespread, but most small streams are dry in summer, posing threat to several populations (Ref. 59043). Also Ref. 12255, 26100.

Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 9. Diagnosed from other species of Barbus and Luciobarbus in Balkan Peninsula by having the following characters: last simple dorsal ray not stronger than branched rays, not serrated posteriorly; 47-53 + 2-3 scales on lateral line; 5-7 scale rows between lateral and pelvic base; small black spots (plain in some populations from Peloponnese) on head and body; often faint dark stripes or faint rows of dark spots along scale rows; lower lip with a median swollen pad (Ref. 59043).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Occurs in lakes and in water bodies on low-lying plains, with little current (Ref. 26100). Found in lower and upper parts of streams with stone bottom and current. Feeds on aquatic invertebrates (Ref. 59043). Threatened by water abstraction (Ref. 26100). Attains a maximum size of about 19 cm SL (Ref. 59043).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproducción | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larva

Males and females splash during spawning (peaks in evening, at sunset). Individual females actively dig holes with anal, into which eggs are released (Ref. 59043). Fractional spawner (Ref. 59043).
