Cobitis Palearctic genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cobitidae . It contains the typical spiny loaches , including the well-known Spined Loach (C. taenia ) of temperate western Eurasia . Containing almost 60 named species as of mid-2008, at least two undescribed ones are also known. Similar spiny loaches, occurring generally south of the range of Cobitis , are noadays separated in Sabanejewia [1]
Species Several Balkans populations were of doubtful status. They appear only weakly distinct from the Spined Loach, but cladistic analysis of DNA sequence data (nDNA RAG-1 and S7 ribosomal protein intron 1, and mtDNA cytochrome b ) confirms that they are old lineages, properly treated as full species.
