The first barbel reaches the rim of the ey and in several specimens it is extended to half the width of the eye; the second barbel usually extends beyond the posterior rim of the eye, usually reaching the preopercle; the anterior barbel is 22-48% and the second 36-62% of head length (Ref. 114135). the lips are thick and exhibit a well-developed medial lobe; the lacrymal bone has a medium-sized has a medium-sied manubrium; the snout is prominent, but less marked than in Luciobarbus maghrebensis and L. rifensis, with preorbital length 6-9% of standard length; the iris is yellowish pigmented at the superior border but less conspicuously than in L. ksibi (Ref. 114135). The profile of the dorsal fin is straight, with the last single ray ossified in two-thirds of its length and deeply serrated; dorsal fin with 4 unbranched rays and 8 branched rays; anal fin with 3 unbranched and 5 branched rays; pectoral fin with 1 unbranched and 15-16 branched rays; ventral fin with 1 unbranched and 8 branched rays; the pectoral and ventral fins are longer in males, and the anal fin is longer in females; ventral fins are inserted on the edge of the dorsal fin insertion; the caudal fin is 19.8-26.7% of standard length; caudal fin with 18 rays (Ref. 114135). Number of scales on the lateral line 42-45; 8-9 scales above lateral line; 5-6 scales below lateral line (Ref. 114135). The caudal peduncle is less deep than in other Luciobarbus species, with the exception of L. ksibi and the body least depth is 10-12.8% of standard length; the height of the caudal peduncle is 1.5-1.9 times the length of the anal peduncle (Ref. 114135). The skull is wide with a wide ethmoid bone; the pharyngeal bone has a long dorsal process; the lacrimal bone is well developed, and infraorbital bones are wide; the dentary and the maxilla have long anterior processes; the basioccipital plate is small and triangular; vertebrae 41-43 (Ref. 114135). Pharyngeal teeth in adults 4.3.2/4.3.2 (Ref. 114135). Number of gill rakers 14-17 (Ref. 114135).Colouration: The colouration is silver or silver-yellowish in fins; some specimens exhibit a mid-flank dark stripe; juveniles present blotches, as in the other Luciobarbus species (Ref. 114135).
