Based on morphological differences, the validity of Capoeta aculeata (Val. in Cuv. & Val., 1844), which KARAMAN (1969) synonymized with C. capoeta (Güldenstädt, 1773), is reaffirmed. C. aculeato is redescribed and its distribution plotted from the six syntypes and 551 specimens from recent collections. A lectotype is designated. Scaphiodon macrolepis Heckel, 1849 is placed in the synonymy of Capoeta aculeato.
