Common name. Orontes himri.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Carasobarbus in Persian Gulf and Mediterranean basins by: ○ head and flank golden or greenish grey in adults larger than 100 mm SL / ○ usually 14−16 circumpeduncular scales / ○ lower lip without median lobe / ○ last unbranched dorsal ray usually shorter or as long as head, moderately ossified / ○ usually 9−12 gill rakers / ○ head length 20−24 % SL / ○ two pairs of barbels / ○ 31−38 total lateral-line scales. Size up to 385 mm SL.
Distribution. Orontes drainage in Türkiye and Syria and Nahr Marqīyah, a coastal stream in Syria.
Habitat. Springs, lakes, reservoirs, and moderately fast-flowing rivers.
Biology. No data.
Conservation status. LC. Still present in lower Orontes in Türkiye and widespread in Syria. However, the situation in Syria needs some actual surveys.
