Cobitis is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cobitidae from temperate and subtropical Eurasia. It contains the "typical spiny loaches", including the well-known spined loach of Europe.[2] Similar spiny loaches, occurring generally south of the range of Cobitis, are nowadays separated in Sabanejewia.[3]
