Oxynoemacheilus ciceki is distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: flank yellowish brown or pale gray with irregular spot; cheeks with numerous tiny spots; absence of scale; thinner caudal peduncle; complete lateral line; supra-temporal canal with 4 central and 4 lateral pores; lower lip thick with a deep median interruption and marked furrows and small median incision in upper lip (Ref. 118065).

Description: 4 unbranched and 7½ branched rays on dorsal fin; 3 unbranched and 5½ branched rays on anal fin; 10-11 branched rays on pectoral fin; 7-8 branched rays on pelvic fin; absence of pigment or presence of brown spots on 3 first rays and rarely on others (Ref. 118065).
