The shape of the mouth, suborbital spines, laminae eiteularis and scales, Key words: Cobitis evreni, new species, Turkey INTRODUCTION Cobitis loach is one of the Palearctic primary freshwater fish groups represented with 12 species in Turkey (Nallant ef af, 2001), OF these, Coditis vardarensis specimens from northwest part of Turkey redescribed as a naw species, C. pontiea (Vasil'eva and Vasil’ev, 2006), At least with one valid additional species, Cobitis phyrigica (Battalgazi, 1944) from Gemis. Acygol (Bri’akan ef al, unpublished MS), 13 species were known. In this study, we described another new species from Kémdr stream, Ceyhan basin, southeast part of Turkey, which belongs to Bicanestrinia subgenus (Bacescu, 1961), MATERIALS AND METHODS ‘The specimens of a new species Cobitisevrent spn from the Komur Stream, Goksun (a tributary of Ceyhan River, southem Turkey} were collected in June 2008 by electrofishing, equipment. Twenty. six morphometric characters such as standard length (SL: tll the beginning of cavdal fin ays), head length, head depth at nape, body depth at te level of pectoral origin, maximum body depth, longitudinal eye diameter, intevorbital length, snout length, postorbital length, maxillar barbel length, length and depth of dorsal fin, length and depth of anal fin, length of pectoral fin, length of ventral fin, length of caudal fin, predorsal distance, postdorsal, preanal, preventral and postventral distances, pecto-ventral length, ventral-anal length, length and depth of caudal peduncle were measured, according to Banarescu et al, (1972), Vasil’eva (1988) and Vasil'eva et al. (1998) and 5 meristic characters (unbranched and branched rays in dorsal, anal, ventral, pectoral and caudal fins) were counted in each specimens. Meristic counts and morphometric measurements made by the same person (S.C. Ozeren) in order to avoid differences in estimates, All drawings were made by F. Erk’akan Specimens are preserved in HUIC: the collection of the Tehthyology Museum, Department of Biology, Hacettepe University (Ankara, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Cobitisevreni sp. nox.
