Crossocheilus klatti, known as the Isparta minnow,[1] saz baligi[1] or the Anatolian golden barb,[2] is an enigmatic freshwater fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
Some list it under its original scientific name Tylognathus klatti, but "Tylognathus" is nowadays recognized as a polyphyletic assemblage of Labeoninae and other cyprinids.[citation needed] FishBase and Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes place it in Crossocheilus. Freyhof however suggests it is close to the species Hemigrammocapoeta kemali, but the genus Hemigrammocapoeta should be considered part of the genus Garra.[2]
The type locality is Lake Eğirdir (Turkey) where the fish was found in the mid-20th century. It is now considered extirpated in this lake and in Lake Gölcük. The known distribution is restricted to Lake Işıklı basin in the Büyük Menderes drainage.[2]
