Luciobarbus antinorii, commonly known as the Tunisian barb or Chott el Djerid barbel,.
It was found only in
springs
. It was threatened by water extraction and the status up until its extinction was insufficiently known as it was last recorded in 1989. Surveys in 2010 and 2011 failed to produce the species, and locals recounted encountering the fish in the past, however it was no longer seen by them.
The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors[who?] consider L. antinorii a distinct species, while others[who?] include it in the Algerian barb (Luciobarbus callensis).
