Sabanejewia romanica (Băcescu, 1943)

A native, relatively restricted freshwater rheophilic species, found in the ArgeȘ, Vedea, Olt, Jiu, Topolnița, Cerna and middle MureȘ drainage catchments, in montane and hill areas ( Bănărescu 1964; Bănărescu 2005; Kottelat & Freyhof 2007; Cocan & MireȘan 2018; Marić et al. 2022; Nagy et al. 2023). Recorded from the Prut ( Moshu et al, 2006) but most likely in error, not being found in the Prut or any waterbody of the Republic of Moldova ( Bulat et al. 2013; Bulat 2017). Not a Romanian endemic (as long considered) for it is also found in adjacent Serbia ( Marić et al. 2022).
