Etymology: Capoeta: The local vernacular name "kapwaeti" used in Georgia and Azerbaikhan (Ref. 45335); pyragyi: Named for Magtymguly Pyragy (Persian: مختومقلسردواغس ), a Turkmen spiritual leader and philosophical poet.
Eponymy: Magtymguly Pyragy (1724–c.1807) was a Turkmen spiritual leader and philosophical poet. Though he promoted Turkmen unity, he had little success in his own time due to local rivalries and tribal loyalties. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 12 - 13; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 8. Capoeta pyragyi differs from other congeners in Iran by following combination of characters, none of them unique: relatively high and laterally compressed body; sexually dimorphic with mouth arched in male and straight in female; 4 unbranched and 8-9 branched dorsal-fin rays, its outer margin concave; 18-26 long serrae along its 50-60% of posterior margin, narrowly spaced and moderately strong; 17-19 gill rakers, 13-15 on lower limb; 24-26 scales around caudal peduncle; Lateral line complete with 68-76 scales; 13-16 scales between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line and 8-10 between anal-fin origin and lateral line (Ref. 116759).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
