Lobocheilos is a ray-finned fish genus of the family Cyprinidae. Although it was first established by van Hasselt in 1823, its scientific name was created by Pieter Bleeker in 1853, when he corrected the original spelling Lobocheilus.

This genus is related to carps and barbs, and tentatively assigned to the doubtfully valid subfamily Labeoninae (often treated as a tribe Labeonini in the Cyprininae). Therein, it either belongs to the tribe Labeonini (if the Labeoninae are accepted) or subtribe Labeoina (if the Labeoninae are merged into Cyprininae), or the tribe Banganini or subtribe Banganina.[1]

Species

As of 2009, 23 species were placed in Lobocheilos:[2]
