Etymology: Barbus: Latin, barbus = barbel (Ref. 45335); biharicus: Named for the Bihar Counties (there are counties with this name in both Romania and Hungary), where the species is almost exclusively distributed.
Eponymy: Sir Charles Alfred Payton (1843–1926) was a British adventurer, writer, fisherman and diplomat who was British Consul to Morocco, where this barb is found. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Barbus biharicus can be distinguished by having significantly larger interorbital and preanal distance than B. balcanicus, B. carpathicus and B. petenyi, and significantly deeper head than B. carpathicus and B. petenyi. Compared to these 3 species, it has a tendency to have shorter, rounded snout, slightly longer pectoral fins, but slightly shorter anal fin. It can be further identified by having small dark spots on dorsal region of body and flanks and, to a lesser extent, head, and dark pigments on the fins occasionally form dark spots (the other species have heavy dark spots, which typically are arranged into rows on dorsal and caudal fins) (Ref. 106510).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
