Dzihunia is a genus of stone loaches native to Central Asia.

Species

There are currently three recognized species in this genus:[1]

  • Dzihunia amudarjensis (Rass (ru), 1929) (Bukhara stone loach)
  • Dzihunia ilan (Turdakov, 1936)
  • Dzihunia turdakovi Prokofiev, 2003

On the other hand, in a recent molecular study on DNA barcoding in fish from Uzbekistan, it was found that the species diversity of Dzihunia is more than three, as previously believed.[2]
