Gobioninae is a monophyletic[1] subfamily of Eurasian cyprinid fishes.

A species-rich subfamily, it is divided into five tribes: Gobionini, Pseudogobionini, Hemibarbini, Coreiini, and Sarcocheilichthyini.

To adapt to different masticatory operations, members of the Gobioninae developed various types of pharyngeal bones and teeth; some have intermediate pharyngeal bones with rows of diverse teeth (conical, compressed, and coarsely compressed), others have broad pharyngeal bones with a single row of molar teeth.

[2] Some Gobioninae have narrow pharyngeal bones with a row of extremely compressed teeth.

[2] These genera are included in the subfamily Gobioninae according to Fishbase:[3]
