A barb is one of various ray-finned fish species in a non-phylogenetic group, with members in the family Cyprinidae, and especially the genera ''Barbus'' and ''Puntius'', but many others also. They were formerly united with the barbels in the subfamily Barbinae, but that group is paraphyletic with the Cyprininae. If the Labeoninae are recognized as distinct, many small African "barbs" would probably, however, warrant recognition as a new subfamily.〔de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007)〕 The root of the word "barb" is common in cyprinid names of European languages, from the Latin ''barba'' ("beard") (COD): * ''barbi'' from Finnish * ''barbo'' from Spanish * ''barbeau'' from French * ''barbo'' from Italian and many others. This is in reference to the barbels which are prominently seen around the mouth of many "barbs". ==Genera== Genera that contain species with common names including "barb": * ''Barbichthys'' * ''Barbodes'' * ''Barboides'' * ''Barbonymus'' – tinfoil barbs * ''Barbopsis'' * ''Barbus'' – typical barbels (and provisionally African barbs) * ''Caecobarbus'' * ''Capoeta'' * ''Carasobarbus'' * ''Catla'' * ''Catlacarpio'' * ''Chela (fish)'' * ''Coptostomabarbus'' * ''Cyclocheilichthys'' * ''Devario'' * ''Discherodontus'' * ''Hypselobarbus'' * ''Hypsibarbus'' * ''Labeobarbus'' * ''Leptobarbus'' * ''Luciobarbus'' (may belong in ''Barbus'') * ''Messinobarbus'' (may belong in ''Barbus'') * ''Megarasbora'' * ''Osteochilus'' * ''Poropuntius'' * ''Probarbus'' * ''Puntioplites'' * ''Puntius'' * ''Sawbwa'' – Sawbwa Barb 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barb (fish)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
