Tropidophoxinellus Explained

Tropidophoxinellus is a genus of cyprinid fish found in Greece. There are currently two described species.

A DNA-based phylogenetic biogeographical report carried out in 2010 recommended that Pseudophoxinus callensis and P. chaignoni from North Africa be added.^[1] However, this report was not universally accepted.

Species

• Tropidophoxinellus hellenicus (Stephanidis, 1971)
• Tropidophoxinellus spartiaticus (Schmidt-Ries, 1943)
