Pogonichthyinae is a subfamily of the freshwater fish family Leuciscidae, which contains the true minnows. Members of this family are known as American minnows or the North American (NA) clade of minnows. As the name suggests, all members of this family are found in North America (although they are not the only minnows native to North America, as Plagopterinae, Laviniinae, and Leuciscinae are also found there).{{Cite journal|last1=Schönhuth|first1=Susana|last2=Vukić|first2=Jasna|last3=Šanda|first3=Radek|last4=Yang|first4=Lei|last5=Mayden|first5=Richard L.|date=2018-10-01|title=Phylogenetic relationships and classification of the Holarctic family Leuciscidae (Cypriniformes: Cyprinoidei)|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1055790317308618|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|language=en|volume=127|pages=781–799|doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2018.06.026|pmid=29913311 |s2cid=49292104 |issn=1055-7903|url-access=subscription}}{{Cite web|date=2018-10-17|title=Order CYPRINIFORMES: Family LEUCISCIDAE: Subfamilies LAVINIINAE, PLAGOPTERINAE and POGONICHTHYINAE|url=http://www.etyfish.org/cypriniformes16/|access-date=2020-11-27|website=The ETYFish Project|language=en-US}}

The former genus Pararhinichthys, containing only the cheat minnow, is now thought to represent an F1 hybrid of Rhinichthys cataractae and Nocomis micropogon.{{Cite journal |last=Poly |first=William J. |last2=Sabaj |first2=Mark H. |date=1998 |title=Lack of Evidence for the Validity of Rhinichthys bowersi (Cyprinidae) |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1447363 |journal=Copeia |volume=1998 |issue=4 |pages=1081–1085 |doi=10.2307/1447363 |issn=0045-8511|url-access=subscription }}{{Cite journal |last=Tan |first=Milton |last2=Armbruster |first2=Jonathan W. |date=2018-09-13 |title=Phylogenetic classification of extant genera of fishes of the order Cypriniformes (Teleostei: Ostariophysi) |url=https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.4476.1.4 |journal=Zootaxa |language=en |volume=4476 |issue=1 |pages=6–39 |doi=10.11646/zootaxa.4476.1.4 |issn=1175-5334|url-access=subscription }}
