The Antakya minnow or Orontes golden barb,[1] (Garra caudomaculata) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra. There is some confusion regarding the identity of this fish. Formerly thought to be extinct, when occupying the Orontes watershed in Turkey,[3] however a synonym, Hemigrammocapoeta caudomaculata is identified as least concern by the IUCN,[1] and is found in the Asi drainage (Asi is synonymous with Orontes) in Turkey and Syria and Nahr al-Kabir river on the border between Syria and Lebanon, and called the Asi golden barb.[1] They are now considered to be the same species.
