Enteromius is a genus of small to medium-sized cyprinid fish native to tropical Africa . Most species were placed in the genus Barbus .
Several species are only known from the type specimens , and their status and continuing existence must be confirmed. As many of these are from Lake Victoria , which underwent massive ecological upheaval after Nile perch (Lates nilosus ) were introduced, some of them likely have not survived, either.
