Tropidophoxinellus is a genus of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species. [1] There are currently four described species, these fishes are found in Greece and North Africa. [2]

A DNA-based phylogenetic biogeographical report carried out in 2010 recommended that Pseudophoxinus callensis and P. chaignoni from North Africa be added. [3] However, this report was not universally accepted.
