Cyprinoidei
Cyprinoidei is a suborder, or superfamily, of mostly freshwater Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes within the large order (biology), order Cypriniformes. Cyprinoidei was formerly a monotypic grouping only containing a single large family, the Cyprinidae but this has now been divided into a number of different families. Families The following families are included within the Cyprinoidei: * Suborder Cyprinoidei Leopold Fitzinger, Fitzinger, 1832 ** Family Paedocyprididae Richard L. Mayden, Mayden & Wei-Jen Chen, W.J. Chen, 2010 (tiny carps) ** Family Psilorhynchidae Sunder Lal Hora, Hora, 1926 (mountain carps) ** Family Cyprinidae Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, Rafinesque, 1815 (carps) ** Family Sundadanionidae Mayden & Chen, 2010 (tiny danios) ** Family Danionidae Pieter Bleeker, Bleeker, 1863 (danionids) ** Family Leptobarbidae Bleeker, 1864 (cigar barbs) ** Family Xenocyprididae Albert Günther, Günther, 1868 (East Asian minnows or sharpbellies) ** Family Tincidae David Starr Jorda ...

Xenocyprididae
Xenocyprididae, is a family of freshwater ray-finned fishes commonly called the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies with a natural distribution in Asia. This taxon, sometimes spelt Xenocypridae, was previously regarded to be a subfamily, Xenocyprinae, of the family Cyprinidae. Cyprinidae '' sensu lato'' is now divided into a number of smaller families within the suborder Cyprinoidei, in the order Cypriniformes. Genera Xenocyprididae contains the following valid genera: A potential fossil genus of the Xenocyprinae is '' Planktophaga'' from the middle-late Eocene of Vietnam. Although initially classified under the East Asian group of Leuciscinae ''sensu lato'' (as ''Hypophthalmichthys'' was previously classified under it), it has unique pharyngeal teeth only shared with ''Hypophthalmichthys'', and thus may represent a basal member of the group. Fossil teeth of indeterminate xenocyprines were found from the same site. Taxonomy Xenocyprididae was previously considered to be a part ...
