Gobioninae is a monophyletic[1] family of Eurasian cyprinoid fishes. This is a species rich clad which, as a subfamily of the Cyprinidae was divided into five tribes: Gobionini, Pseudogobionini, Hemibarbini, Coreiini, and Sarcocheilichthyini. These subdivisions are not recognised by Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.[2]

To adapt to different masticatory operations, members of the Gobioninae developed various types of pharyngeal bones and teeth; some have intermediate pharyngeal bones with rows of diverse teeth (conical, compressed, and coarsely compressed), others have broad pharyngeal bones with a single row of molar teeth.[3] Some Gobioninae have narrow pharyngeal bones with a row of extremely compressed teeth.[3]

Genera

These genera are included in the subfamily Gobioninae according to Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes:[2]
