Abstract. Rutilus panosi sp. n. is described from Acheloos River drainage, Western Greece. It is distinguished from the other species of Rutilus by the following combination of characters: (40)41-44(45) lateral line scales; (11)12-14(15) gill rakers; pharyngeal teeth formula 6-5; commonly 9½ branched anal rays and 9½ branched dorsal rays; snout pointed, triangular; maximum body depth 25-27% SL; dorsal fin depth 19-22% SL; anal fin depth 12-14% SL; snout length 26-32% head length; eye diameter 20-24% head length; 40-41 total vertebrae (common formulae 23+17, 23+18 and 22+18), absence of any lateral stripe. A comparison with species of Rutilus s. str. from the Balkan Peninsula is given.
