Leuciscinae

Leuciscinae is a subfamily of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the fishes known as daces, chubs, shiners and minnows. The fishes in this subfamily are mainly found in Eurasia, with one genus (Notemigonus) in North America.

Leuciscinae contains the following genera:

The extinct genus †Palaeoleuciscus Obrhelová, 1969 is known from the Early Miocene of Europe. 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.
