Barbatula toni (Dybowski 1869)

Together with Barbatula altayensis and B. sawadai, this species differs from all other congeners from northern Asia by having the body scaled predorsally (vs. body scaled posterior to the dorsal-fin origin, or scales only on the caudal-fin base). It can be distinguished from B. altayensis and B. sawadai in having widely separated nostril (vs. closely-set) and further from B. altayensis in having 42-43 vertebrae (vs. 44-45), and further from B. sawadai in having 7 branched dorsal-fin rays (vs. 8) (Ref. 93050).

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Analsoft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 42 - 43
