Achondrostoma is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.[1]
The genus was erected in 2007 for three fish separated from genus Chondrostoma on the basis of genetic evidence.[1] Later that year a population of Iberochondrostoma lemmingii was separated on the basis of morphological and phylogenetic data and described as the fourth species of Achondrostoma.[2]
