Аннотация:With consideration of comparative morphological, karyological, and biogeographical analysis the taxonomic status of gudgeons from Crimea is estimated. A gudgeon from the Chernaya River in mountain Crimea is described as a new species:Gobio tauricus sp. nova. The gudgeons from the Crimean steppe are attributed to the species G. bulgaricus.
Its synonymy, diagnosis, area, and description, as composed from
Crimean populations, are presented. Characteristics differentiating two Crimean species of gudgeons from each other and from G. gobio and G. sarmaticus are indicated
