The genus was erected in 2007 for three fish separated from genus Chondrostoma on the basis of genetic evidence.[1] Later that year a population of Iberochondrostoma lemmingii was separated on the basis of morphological and phylogenetic data and described as the fourth species of Achondrostoma.[2]

gollark: Suggestions will be accepted.
gollark: One thing I was considering doing for April Fools was "osmarks.tk™2.0" (or 3.0 now), which would have constant random loading screens, randomly download 2MB of Javascript (or say it was), sell all your data to Facebook (well, say it's doing that), have an unusable new style which looks like it was made for mobile devices, and randomly crash.
gollark: Hmm, yes, true.
gollark: It's *maybe* getting a new feature. Depends on demand.
gollark: But often the questions are just something like "what is the formula for the nth term of this sequence: [some numbers from the sequence]".
