6462 Telestes souffia (Risso, 1827) Leuciscidae Minnows Leuciscinae Cypriniformes Teleostei Vairone Europe: Mediterranean basin from Aude to Var drainages (France, Switzerland); literature records from Tarn system [Garonne drainage] in fact refers to Hérault [each has a tributary named Dourbie]; Soca drainage in Italy and Slovenia; uppermost Rhine drainage in Germany and Switzerland; Danube drainage in western tributaries of Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and part of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and upper Tisza system (Romania, Ukraine). Record from Aegean basin in Bulgaria based on misidentification of a possibly unnamed species. Introgression zone with <i>Telestes muticellus</i> in Var drainage (France) and Soca drainage (Slovenia, Italy). <i>Telestes souffia agassii</i> is often applied to Danube and Rhine populations, but there is no published evidence that they differ from the Rhône populations. If justified, the correct name for a Danube-Rhine species would be <i>Telestes rysela</i> and not <i>Telestes agassii</i>. AMNH 40981 1977 Leuciscus souffia AMNH 47870 1983 Leuciscus souffia
