The genus Alburnoides Jeitteles, 1861, a member of the family Leuciscidae, is distinguished from the nearest genus Alburnus Rafinesque, 1820 by having small black spots which are located on each side of the lateral line canal pore outlining the canal at least along its front portion while a dark strip reaches from behind the eye to the caudal fin (Bogutskaya & Coad, 2009). Members of Alburnoides are widespread in Eurasian waters with 35 valid species described so far (Fricke et al., 2020). Two species of Alburnoides, the Tashkent riffle bleak A. oblongus Bulgakov, 1923 and the Ashkhabad spirlin A. varentsovi Bogutskaya & Coad, 2009 were discovered in the Central Asian water basin, while the remaining Alburnoides populations of the Aral Sea basin were recognized as A. eichwaldii (Berg, 1949;Nikolski, 1938). According to the recent molecular studies, Alburnoides oblongus, occurred in the Syr Darya basin in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, has been revealed to belong to the genus Alburnus (Matveyev at al., 2017). The last revision of Alburnoides from the Caucasus and Central Asia (Bogutskaya & Coad, 2009) revealed that A. eichwaldii is restricted to Transcaucasia, and members of the genus Alburnoides in Central Asian waters belong to different species. Another recent study (Levin et al., 2019) showed that Alburnoides eichwaldii in Central Asia should be classified as Alburnoides holciki from various rivers in Tajikistan using both morphological and molecular approaches. Alburnoides holciki, was originally described by Coad and Bogutskaya (2012) from the Hari River Basin (Afghanistan and Iran). So far, this species is recorded
