Sabanejewia is a genus of benthic freshwater fish of the family of loach (Cobitidae). The Sabanejewia species were originally assigned to the genus Cobitis , but differ from these, among other things, in the absence of Canestrini scales and the smaller number of Gambetta zones (4 in Cobitis and 2 in Sabanejewia ). Biochemical and genetic studies also support the separation of the two genera. The genus Sabanejewia is native to Europe as well as in the catchment area of ​​the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea . Most species prefer a gravelly substrate.
