The extinct minnow Palaeoleuciscus

The extinct genus † Palaeoleuciscus Obrhelová, 1969 is known from the Early Miocene of Europe. ^[3] A well-preserved fossil specimen of an indeterminate leuciscine is known from the Pliocene of the Chotanagpur Plateau of India, suggesting that leuciscines also inhabited India during this time. ^[4]
