Notropis is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are known commonly as eastern shiners.[1] They are native to North America, and are the continent's second largest genus.[2][3]
A 1997 phylogenetic analysis placed the genus in a clade with Campostoma, Cyprinella, Phenacobius, Platygobio and Rhinichthys.[4] The systematics of the genus is still unclear. It has not been confirmed to be monophyletic. While it has been divided into several subgenera and species groups, the relationships between the taxa are not yet understood.[5]
