Dzihunia is a genus of stone loaches native to Central Asia.
Species
There are currently three recognized species in this genus:[1]
- Dzihunia amudarjensis (Rass (ru), 1929) (Bukhara stone loach)
- Dzihunia ilan (Turdakov, 1936)
- Dzihunia turdakovi Prokofiev, 2003
On the other hand, in a recent molecular study on DNA barcoding in fish from Uzbekistan, it was found that the species diversity of Dzihunia is more than three, as previously believed.[2]
