Oxynoemacheilus tongiorgii is a species of stone loach from the genus Oxynoemacheilus.[3] It was found in a spring near the town of Darab in the Kul River basin of Iran.[2] It has only been recorded once.[1]
The fish is named in honor of Paolo Tongiorgi (1936–2018) of the University of Modena, who as co-editor of the Italian Journal of Zoology, helped in the final editing of the special volume in which this fish's description appeared.[4]
