Barbinae

Barbinae are a subfamily of fish included in the family Cyprinidae.^[1] 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.
