Alburnoides idignensis, is a fish species of the family Cyprinidae endemic to Iran. It can be differentiated from its cogenerates by differences in fin ray and vertebral counts, together with other morphological characters.[1] The specific name is derived from the Sumerian name for the River Tigris, "Idigna".[2]
