Subdivisions
This giant subfamily has been further divided into tribes.
Two controversial subfamilies are nested inside Cyprininae: Barbinae and Labeoninae. The former is now very poorly defined due to the proximity of Barbus barbus to Cyprinus. The latter can still form a distinct-enough clade to be known as tribe Labeonini when subsumed inside this subfamily.
Sinocyclocheilus, Cyprinus, and Carassius are known to share an allotetraploidization event. The latter two are classified as tribe Cyprinini sensu Rainboth 1981.
