discussion
Remarks. Alburnus doriae was a forgotten species that had not been reported for 152 years since its description in 1865. Populations of this species were later described as Petroleuciscus esfahani from the Zayandeh drainage and Alburnus amirkabiri from the Lake Namak basin; both are synonyms of A. doriae.
