Leuciscinae
Leuciscinae is a subfamily of freshwater Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Leuciscidae, which includes the fishes known as daces, chubs, shiners and minnows. The fishes in this subfamily are mainly found in Eurasia, with one genus (''Golden shiner, Notemigonus'') in North America. Genera Leuciscinae contains the following genera: * ''Abramis'' Georges Cuvier, Cuvier, 1816 (Common bream) * ''Acanthobrama'' Johann Jakob Heckel, Heckel 1843 (Bleaks) * ''Achondrostoma'' Joana Isabel Robalo, Robalo, Vitor C.

Leuciscidae
Leuciscidae is a family of freshwater ray-finned fishes, formerly classified as a subfamily of the Cyprinidae, which contains the true minnows. Members of the Old World (OW) clade of minnows within this subfamily are known as European minnows. As the name suggests, most members of the OW clade are found in Eurasia, aside from the golden shiner (''Notemigonus crysoleucas''), which is found in eastern North America North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere, Northern and Western Hemisphere, Western hemispheres. North America is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South Ameri .... According to ancestral area reconstruction, the subfamily Leuciscinae is thought to have originated in Europe before becoming widely distributed in parts of Europe, Asia and North America. Evidence for the dispersal of this subfamily can be marked by biogeographical scenarios/observations, geomorphological changes, ...

Chondrostoma
'''' (from the Ancient Greek roots (''khondros'') 'lump' + (''stoma'') 'mouth' = 'lump-mouth') is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae. They are commonly known as nases, although this term is also used locally to denote particular species, most frequently the common nase (''C. nasus''). The common name refers to the protruding upper jaw of these fishes; it is derived from the German term ''Nase'' 'nose'. Several species have a very restricted range. Some of these endemics are very rare nowadays, and at least one species is globally extinct. Systematics In 2007 it was determined that the presumed monophyletic group consisted of six at least partly independent lineages of Leuciscinae, meaning that the rasping feeding apparatus evolved more than once. It was proposed to split the genus in six in consequence: '' Achondrostoma'', ''Chondrostoma'', ''Iberochondrostoma'', '' Pseudochondrostoma'', '' Protochondrostoma'' and '' Parachondrostoma''. But at least ''A ...
