Abstract

This study aimed to provide detailed osteological characteristics of Paraschistura abdolii due to the restricted studies on the skeletal structure of this genus in recent years. A total of 35 P. abdolii specimens were collected from Hamun-e Jaz Murian Basin and were cleared and stained. Based on the results, this species can be distinguished from other species of this genus by having 4 basibranchials, 9 pterygiophores, 5 hyporals, swim bladder with a dentate, a sesamoid bone, extra urohyal bone, a distance between the epiural and the centrum body, and strong dentition of the supraneoral-3 bone.
