Alburnoides cf. bipunctatus (Bloch, 1782)

A native, widespread freshwater rheophilic species, found in many rivers from the plains to the montane areas, in both intra- and extra-Carpathian drainages, including the Danube; rare in the Delta ( Bănărescu 1964; Bulat et al. 2013; Cocan & MireȘan 2018; Nagy et al. 2023). According to Stierandová et al. (2016) A. bipunctatus should be split into several nuclear- and mitochondrial-defined species, of which an unnamed one occurs in southern Romania (Nera, „Mevadica” [Mehadica], Cerna, Gilort, Olt), the rest of the Romanian populations being unassigned; intra-Carpathian ones might conceivably belong to the species retaining the name A. bipunctatus .
