Barbinae
Barbinae are a subfamily of fish included in the family Cyprinidae. The taxonomy for this group has not been entirely worked out as some genera historically considered within it are still considered incertae sedis with respect to being a member of the family, and may be included here, while others may be moved to other subfamilies.

Cyprinidae
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used b ...

Barbus
''Barbus'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. The type species of ''Barbus'' is the common barbel, first described as ''Cyprinus barbus'' and now named ''Barbus barbus''. ''Barbus'' is the namesake genus of the subfamily Barbinae, but given their relationships, that taxon is better included in the Cyprininae at least for the largest part (including the type species of ''Barbus''). Description and uses Their common names – barbs and barbels – refer to the fact that most members of the genera have a pair of barbels on their mouths, which they can use to search for food at the bottom of the water. Barbels are often fished for food; in some locations they are of commercial significance. The roe of barbels is poisonous, however. The large ''Barbus'' barbs are also often eaten in their native range. At Shanhûr in Egypt, remains of a jar from the sixth- to seventh-century AD were unearthed that contained fish bones. The fish were apparently ...

Aulopyge
The Dalmatian barbelgudgeon (''Aulopyge huegelii'') is a European ray-finned fish species in the family (biology), family Cyprinidae. It is the only member of the monotypic genus ''Aulopyge''. The genus name is derived from the ancient Greek ''aulós'' (αὐλός, "flute") + ''pygé'' (πῦγή, "behind, rump"), and thus means approximately "fluted tail-stem". The specific name (zoology), specific name honours the Austrian naturalist and diplomat Charles von Hügel. Though the genus was established in 1841, the species was only mentioned but not described at that time; that happened the following year, and in 1843, the frequently-seen misspelling ''huegeli'' was introduced.Crivelli (2006) Many fish databases use 1843 as the year of description. The IUCN Red List uses 1842 and also has an explanation of the confusiohere As its common name implies, it is a cyprinid looking somewhat intermediate between a barbel (fish), barbel and a gudgeon (fish), gudgeon. It is, however, only ...

Puntigrus
''Puntigrus'' is a genus of cyprinids native to Southeast Asia. Etymology The name ''Puntigrus'' is derived from the first syllable of the cyprinid genus '' Puntius'' and "tigrus" (to allude to the Latin ''"tigris"'' meaning "tiger"). Species There are currently five recognized species in this genus:Kottelat, M.

Pseudobarbus
''Pseudobarbus'' is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. The type species is Burchell's redfin (''P. burchelli''). The scientific name is derived from the Ancient Greek ''pseudes'' ("false") and the Latin word ''barbus'' ("beard", in reference to the barbels of barbs). This genus contains some (and might contain all) of the South African redfins. It was originally proposed as a subgenus, but has since been found worthy of recognition as a full genus. This genus is restricted to southern Africa; all of its species were formerly placed in ''Barbus'', the genus of typical barbels and their relatives. One taxon was originally described as ''P. leonhardi'' – this, however, was a European fish for which the genus was erroneously proposed anew. It has since turned out to be nothing other than the barbel '' B. peloponnesius''.FishBase 009/ref> Species and systematics ''Pseudobarbus'' was placed in the paraphyletic " subfamily" Barbinae by those that recognize th ...
