The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors consider L. pallaryi a distinct species, while others include it in the Algerian barb (L. callensis). Some authorities consider Luciobarbus lepineyi to be conspecific with L. pallaryi when the latter is considered a distinct species.
