Barbodes

''Barbodes'' is a genus of small to medium-sized cyprinid fish native to tropical Asia. The majority of the species are from Southeast Asia. Many species are threatened and some from the Philippines (Lake Lanao) are already extinct. A survey carried out in 1992 only found three of the endemic ''Barbodes'' species,Endangered Species Handbook:
It's Too Late – Fish Extinctions.
' Retrieved 29 September 2012 and only two (''Barbodes lindog'' and '' B. tumba'') were found in 2008. Several members of this genus were formerly included in ''Puntius''.

Etymology

The name is derived from the Latin word ''barbus'', meaning "barbel", and the Greek word ''oides'', meaning "similar to".

Note on species list: Kottelat 2013 states that ''B. dorsimaculatus'' may not be referable to this genus and considers it to be ''species inquirenda''. He also implies that ''Barbodes'' should be restricted to Southeast Asian and Philippine endemics and that the following species from eastern and southern Asia may not be referable to this genus: ''B. bovanicus'', ''B. carnaticus'', ''B. elongatus'', ''B. polylepis'' and ''B. wynaadensis''. Because these species fall outside of the geographic area of his paper, their position in Cyprinidae is not addressed.
