Abstract
Alburnus zagrosensis n. sp. is described from a stream in the Karun River basin of Chahar Mahall va Bakhtiari Province in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. The new taxon is distinguished from other members of the genus Alburnus by a combination of characters including a low anal fin branched ray count (9–10), high frequencies of 7 branched rays in both the dorsal and pelvic fins, other meristic characters such as a high lateral line scale count (67–83), absence of a prominent mid-flank stripe, and small size.
