==Taxonomy== Phoxinellus was first used as a genus name by the Austrian ichthyologist Johann Jakob Heckel in 1843 when he described Phoxinellus alepidotus, giving its type locality as Livno, Bosnia. In 1859 or 1860, Pieter Bleeker designated P. alepidotus as the type species of the genus. In 1863, Bleeker placed P. alpeidotis in the new genus Paraphoxinus, but this taxon is a synonym of Phoxinellus. Phoxinellus is classified within the subfamily Leuciscinae of the family Leuciscidae.
