Species
In FishBase (2022), nine species are included in the genus:[1]
- Rutilus caspicus (Yakovlev, 1870) (Caspian roach)
- Rutilus frisii (Nordmann, 1840) (Black sea roach)
- Rutilus heckelii (Nordmann, 1840)
- Rutilus kutum (S. N. Kamensky, 1901) (Caspian kutum)
- Rutilus meidingeri (Heckel, 1851)
- Rutilus pigus (Lacépède, 1803) (Pigo)
- Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Common roach)
- Rutilus stoumboudae Bianco & Ketmaier, 2014
- Rutilus virgo (Heckel, 1852) (Cactus roach)
In a phylogeographic study, Levin et al. (2017) argue that the Ponto-Caspian taxa including R. caspicus, R. heckelii and R. stoumboudae could represent a single widespread species whose range extends to Siberia, to be named Rutilus lacustris, whereas R. kutum is included in R. frisii. [2]
The genera Leucos and Sarmarutilus have been recently separated from Rutilus and are closely related to it.[3]
