Abstract
Seminemacheilus dursunavsari , new species, is described from the Goksu River drainage, Eastern Mediterranean Basin, Konya Province, Turkey. This species is distinguished from the other members of the genus by a combination of the following characters: having irregular molted dark black spots and blotches on flanks, lacking blotches and spots on dorsal faces of head and ventral part of body, possessing fused black spots at base of caudal fin, a saddle-like black spot on the dorsal-fin origin, and blunt snout. Seminemacheilus dursunavsari n. sp. is also diagnosed from S. lendlii , S. ispartensis and S. ahmeti by 13 fixed, diagnostic nucleotide substitutions in the mtDNA COI barcode region, and a K2P genetic distance of 5.8, 5.6 and 4.7%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Iranian Journal of Ichthyology (IJI) is a peer-reviewed journal for publication of high quality papers on any aspect of ichthyology and will be published 4 times a year by the Iranian Society of Ichthyology (http://www.isi-org.ir). The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meets the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence, and will publish original scientific articles in the fields of ichthyology. The editors welcome the submission of original manuscripts including Research Articles, Short communications, and Views & News. Review papers by distinguished authors and Special Issues will also be considered. It is our aim to provide the international scientific community with an efficiently published journal, meeting high scientific and technical standards. Scopes of Iranian Journal of Ichthyology includes: Systematics, taxonomy, morphology, anatomy, biogeography, biodiversity, conservation, ecology and general biology of fishes (reproduction, food and feeding habits, age and growth, population dynamics, etc.). Papers on freshwater, brackish, marine and fossil fishes will be considered.
