Luciobarbus pallaryi, the Zousfana barb,[1] is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Algeria and Morocco.
Its natural habitat is freshwater springs along the course of the Oued Zouzfana, which is a wadi or intermittent river. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.[1]
The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors consider L. pallaryi a distinct species, while others include it in the Algerian barb (L. callensis). Some authorities consider Luciobarbus lepineyi to be conspecific with L. pallaryi when the latter is considered a distinct species.
