Danionin rerio", "D. nigrofasciatus", and "D. albolineatus"; the remaining "Danio" species were moved to "Devario", which at this time included "D. malabaricus", "D. kakhienensis", "D. devario", "D. chrysotaeniatus", "D. maetaengensis", "D. interruptus", and "D. apogon". The only "Danio" species to have been consistently called "Danio" were "D. dangila" and "D. feegradei".

Also, the sister group to "Devario" was deemed to be a clade formed by "Inlecypris" and "Chela", and more
