Body shape typical of the genus. Mouth inferior with thick and fleshy lips, covered by papillae on the entire surface. Lower lip delimited from the mentum by a grove, having a large median lobe. Last unbranched ray of the dorsal fin spiny, more slender than that of B. barbus. About two denticles per millimeter along the basal half of dorsal's fin posterior margin. No denticles along its apical half. This spiny ray is higher than that of B. macedonicus, with height varying between 20.8 and 23.3 % of standard length. Dorsal fin with concave margin. Head shorter than in the most of the other Barbus species with spiny dorsal rays, ranging from 20.4 to 21.7% of standard length (Ref. 56080).
