System

Danio was erythromicron was originally described in 1918 by Nelson Annandale as Microrasbora erythromicron. As a result, some authors set the style on the basis of morphological characters in the genus Danio. Recent molecular studies have shown that the genus is polyphyletic Microrasbora, so that the assignment of Danio erythromicron as secured in the genus Danio is now considered.
