''Carasobarbus'' is a small genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are found around the Near East region. Like many other "barbs", it was long included in ''Barbus''. It appears to be a fairly close relative of the typical barbels and relatives – the genus ''Barbus'' proper –, but closer still to the large hexaploid species nowadays separated in ''Labeobarbus''. As ''Barbus'' is likely to be split up in the near future – to account for the improved phylogenetic knowledge which indicates it is highly paraphyletic in its wide circumscription –, it may be that ''Carasobarbus'' and some other closely related "barbs" (e.g. ''"Barbus" reinii'') will eventually be included in ''Labeobarbus'' to avoid a profusion of very small genera.〔de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007)〕 ==Species== ''Carasobarbus'' contains the following species: * ''Carasobarbus apoensis'' (Banister & M. A. Clarke, 1977) * ''Carasobarbus canis'' (Valenciennes, 1842) * ''Carasobarbus chantrei'' (Sauvage, 1882) * ''Carasobarbus exulatus'' (Banister & M. A. Clarke, 1977) * ''Carasobarbus luteus'' (Heckel, 1843) 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「Carasobarbus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
