Achondrostoma is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Leuciscidae, the daces and minnows. It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. [1]
The genus was erected in 2007 for three fish separated from genus Chondrostoma on the basis of genetic evidence. [1] Later that year a population of Iberochondrostoma lemmingii was separated on the basis of morphological and phylogenetic data and described as the fourth species of Achondrostoma, [2] though this move was later reversed.
