Abstract:
Populations of endemic Croatian dace were found to belong to two different species, one of which
is first described in this study. Telestes karsticus sp. nov. differed morphologically from Telestes
polylepis in the total count of lateral line scales, number of gill rakers and the shape of the posterior
margin of the anal fin. Morphological differences were corroborated with mtDNA analyses (with
p-distance between T. polylepis and T. karsticus sp. nov. ranging between 3·2 and 4·1%; and the
number of substitutions between 37 and 47). The newly described species is geographically very
localized. It has been recorded from only four localities around Velika Kapela and Mala Kapela
mountains in Croatia.
