in its wide circumscription –, it may be that ''Carasobarbus'' and some other closely related "barbs" (e.g. '' Labeobarbus reinii'') are now included in ''Labeobarbus'' to avoid a profusion of very small genera.de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007) The taxonomy of many species in the " wastebin genus" ''Barbus'' has recently been re-evaluated. Though hybrid introgression may confound studies based in mtDNA data alone, a number of these species appear to be so closely related to ''Labeobarbus'' to warrant inclusion in the present genus outright, irrespective if ''Carasobarbus'' is considered distinct or not. These include '' L. ethiopicus''.
