Luciobarbus antinorii, commonly known as the Tunisian barb or Chott el Djerid barbel, [1] was a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.

It was found only in Tunisia, in the artesian well of Chott el Djerid and Fatnassa en Nefaoua. Its natural habitat is freshwater springs. It was threatened by water extraction and the status up until its extinction was insufficiently known as it was last recorded in 1989. Surveys in 2010 and 2011 failed to produce the species, and locals recounted encountering the fish in the past, however it was no longer seen by them.

The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors[ who? ] consider L. antinorii a distinct species, while others[ who? ] include it in the Algerian barb (Luciobarbus callensis).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dalmatian barbelgudgeon</span> Species of fish

The Dalmatian barbelgudgeon is a European ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Aulopyge. The genus name is derived from the ancient Greek aulós + pygé, and thus means approximately "fluted tail-stem". The specific name honours the Austrian naturalist and diplomat Charles von Hügel. Though the genus was established in 1841, the species was only mentioned but not described at that time; that happened the following year, and in 1843, the frequently-seen misspelling huegeli was introduced. Many fish databases use 1843 as the year of description. The IUCN Red List uses 1842 and also has an explanation of the confusion here.
