Suborder Cyprinoidei (100%)
Morphological synapomorphies: see KW Conway [181],
R Britz, K Conway and L Ruber [183].
Comment: Cyprinidae sensu lato (not monophyletic) is
now split into multiple monophyletic families that are
coherent with biogeography. The rogue placement of
Esomus in molecular and morphological analyses (see
[102]) suggest that this genus may represent a distinct
cyprinoid lineage, which is provisionally retained within
Danionidae [102]. Recognition of Xenocyprididae is
based on L Yang, T Sado, M Vincent Hirt, E Pasco-Viel,
M Arunachalam, J Li, X Wang, J Freyhof, K Saitoh, AM
Simons, et al. [187] and CC Stout, M Tan, AR Lemmon,
EM Lemmon and JW Armbruster [102].
