Xenocyprididae,[1] is a family of freshwater ray-finned fishes with a natural distribution in Asia. This taxon, sometimes spelt Xenocypridae, was previoulsy regarded to be a subfamily, Xenocyprinae,[2] of the family Cyprinidae. Cyprinidae sensu lato is now divided into a number of smaller families within the suborder Cyprinoidei, in the order Cypriniformes.[3]
