Barbs
Barbinae
The 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.
