See text Microrasbora is a genus of small fishes.

[2] Microrasbora, until recently, included a number of described species.

Microrasbora erythromicron was first shown to be a member of the genus Danio in 1999.

[1][4] Three other species, M. gatesi, M. kubotai, and M. nana were moved to a new genus, Microdevario,[4] leaving Microrasbora rubescens as the only confirmed species in the genus.

However, Fang et al. did not comment on the placement of Microrasbora microphthalma.
