CONSERVATION STATUS IN TAJIKISTAN: Not known; not known (sensu IUCN).

SPECIMENS EXAMINED: IBIW_FS (n = 39) (Artaev et al., 2024). FMNH: 151131, 151196, 151122, 151128, 151136, 151137, 151147, 151151, 151160, 151167, 151175–78, 151189, 151200. In 2003–2018, specimens were caught (not preserved) in the floodplain lakes and the riverbed of the lower reaches of the Vakhsh River in the Tigrovaya Balka Nature Reserve.

COMMENTS: Analysis of genetic and morphological data showed that this previously unknown species from Tajikistan rivers belongs to the recently described species Alburnoides holciki (Levin et al., 2019a).
