HISTORICAL REVIEW OF PHOXINUS 



As mentioned in the Introduction, Phoxinus is a very interesting group because it is the 

 only minnow genus occurring in North America and Eurasia. Since the first species of 

 Phoxinus was described - Phoxinus phoxinus (Linnaeus, 1758) - many ichthyologists have 

 been attracted by these fishes to study different aspects of the genus, such as taxonomy, 

 distribution, osteology, behavior, and physiology. Here, I chronologically summarize the 

 literature of the genus, mainly on those related to taxonomy, morphology, and distributi- 

 on. For sake of convenience, I treat every 10 years as an artificial unit except the parts 

 "up to the 20th century", including the publications before 1900, and "1980- 1994" con- 

 sisting of a summary of 15 years' publications. 



Up to the 20th century 



The first species of Phoxinus was described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae (10th 

 ed., 1758) as Cyprinus phoxinus. As for other species described by Linnaeus (1758), the 

 description of this species was very brief. Another species described by Linnaeus (1758), 

 Cyprinus aphya, is generally considered a synonym of Phoxinus phoxinus (e.g., Berg 1949, 

 Banarescu 1964, Wheeler 1991).
