Taxonomy

Pseudaspius was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1869 by the Polish zoologist Benedykt Dybowski with Cyprinus leptocephalus as its only species.[1] C. leptocephalus was first formally described in 1776 by the German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas with its type locality given as Transbaikal.[3] The genus Triblodon is now considered to be a synonym of Pseudaspius.[4] This genus is classified within the subfamily Pseudaspininae of the family Leuciscidae.[1]
