Taxonomy
Pseudaspius was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1869 by the Polish zoologist Benedykt Dybowski with Cyprinus leptocephalus as its only species. C. leptocephalus was first formally described in 1776 by the German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas with its type locality given as Transbaikal. The genus Triblodon is now considered to be a synonym of Pseudaspius.{{cite journal |author1 =Harumi Sakai |author2=Katsutoshi Watanabe |author3=Akira Goto |year=2020 |title=A revised generic taxonomy for Far East Asian minnow Rhynchocypris and dace Pseudaspius |journal=Ichthyological Research |volume= 67 |doi=10.1007/s10228-019-00726-5}} This genus is classified within the subfamily Pseudaspininae of the family Leuciscidae.
