Abstract

In Ain al‐Qunaiya. an isolated source within the Jordan River drainage basin of Jordan, several fishes were found to have characters intermediate between two cyprinid species. Barbus canis Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes. 1842 and Capoeta damascina (Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes. 1842). The hypothesis of their hybrid origin is advanced. A key to the large barbine cyprinids of the Jordan River system and their hybrids is given.
