Lizard Barbel
Barbus lacerta
The lizard barbel (Barbus lacerta), also known as Kura barbel, is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish from the Near East region. Kosswig's barbel is now a synonym, which also places the species in the Tigris–Euphrates river system of the Middle east.
The specific epithet lacerta is Latin for lizard, but the allusion was not explained by Heckel.
