Species
[edit]There are currently 16 recognized species in this genus, as listed below.[3] Previously, this genus contained many more species, but some have been shown to be mere synonyms, and others have been moved to Neolissochilus, Poropuntius, Onychostoma and Masticbarbus in recent years.

- Acrossocheilus lamus (Mai, 1978) (now deemed as a synonym of Masticbarbus microstoma (Pellegrin & Chevey, 1936))
