Phoxinus septimaniae
Phoxinus strymonicus
Kottelat, 2007
Kottelat, M. (2007).The peri-Mediterranean populations of Phoxinus usually identified as the wide-ranging palaearctic P. phoxinus represent a number of distinct species. Three new species are described: P. bigerri from Adour drainage, France and the upper Ebro drainage, Spain, P. septimaniae from Languedoc, France, and P. strymonicus from Strymon drainage, Greece. Species of Phoxinus differ in body proportions and shape (especially shape of caudal peduncle, anal fin, snout), shape of the patches of breast scales between and in front of pectoral fins, and live colouration. A neotype is designated for Cyprinus phoxinus and C. aphya, and C. phoxinus is made a nomen protectum.
