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]

This is a stub template. A brief explanation of these templates follows; for full details please consult Wikipedia:Stub.
What is a stub?
A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject.
How is a stub identified?
- If possible, try to find the most appropriate stub template for the article. A full list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/List of stubs.
- More than one stub template may be used, if necessary, though no more than four should be used on any article.
- Place a stub template at the very end of the article, after the "External links" section, any navigation templates, and the category tags. As usual, templates are added by including their name inside double braces, e.g.
{{stub}}.
Further information
Further information can be found at:
- Wikipedia:Stub
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting
New stub templates and categories (collectively "stub types") should not be created without prior proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This allows for the proper coordination of all stub types across Wikipedia, and for the checking of any new stub type for possible problems prior to its creation.
