Barilius is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Danionidae, the danios or danionins. The fishes in this genus are found in Asia. Four species in this genus have been described since 2012, although three have since been reallocated to Opsarius, which was formerly a group within this genus before elevation to full genus.[citation needed]
