The extinct genus â Palaeoleuciscus <small>Obrhelová, 1969</small> is known from the Early Miocene of Europe. A well-preserved fossil specimen of an indeterminate leuciscine is known from the Pliocene of the Chotanagpur Plateau of India, suggesting that leuciscines also inhabited India during this time.
