Iberochondrostoma lemmingii, the Iberian arch-mouthed nase (Portuguese : ruivaca; Spanish : pardilla), is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae. It is found in Portugal and Spain. It lives in the middle and lower reaches of rivers with slow current. [1]
Until recently, I. lemmingii was placed in the genus Chondrostoma . Fish that now are recognized as Achondrostoma salmantinum were earlier included in I. lemmingii. [1]
