Barbinae are a subfamily of fish included in the family Cyprinidae. [1] 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.
The earliest fossil remains of this subfamily are known from the early-mid Eocene Sangkarewang Formation of Sumatra, Indonesia, with articulated specimens of several extinct genera known. [2]
Barbinae contains the following extant genera: [3]
The following fossil genera are also known: [4]
