The Antakya minnow (Crossocheilus caudomaculatus) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Crossocheilus. There is some confusion regarding the identity of this fish. Fishbase identifies the species as extinct, formerly 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 in Turkey and Syria and Nahr al-Kabir at the border between Syria and Lebanon, and called the Asi golden barb.[1] They may be distinct species.
