Leuciscidae is a family of freshwater Actinopterygii,[ Taxonomic information]
Members of the Old World (OW) clade of minnows within this subfamily are known as European minnows. As the name suggests, most members of the OW clade are found in Eurasia, aside from the golden shiner ( Notemigonus crysoleucas), which is found in eastern North America.
According to ancestral area reconstruction, the subfamily Leuciscinae is thought to have originated in Europe before becoming widely distributed in parts of Europe, Asia and North America. Evidence for the dispersal of this subfamily can be marked by biogeographical scenarios/observations, geomorphological changes, phylogenetic relationships as well as evidence for vicariance events taking place through time.[ but more recent classifications have resolved this taxon as a family, the Leuciscidae.][
