A new genus of armored catfish (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the Greater Amazon, with a review of the species and description of five new species

Roberto E. Reis et al.

Summary: A new genus of armored catfish from the Hypopopomatinae subfamily is described, with five new species identified and 18 species transferred from other genera. The study also examines the secondary sexual dimorphism of the new genus and provides a key to the species. The research delimits four phenotypic groups based on morphological characters, which may have phylogenetic significance.

More than meets the eye: phylogeographic inferences and remarkable cryptic diversity and in endemic catfish Parotocinclus (Loricariidae: Hypoptopomatinae) from neglected and impacted basins in South America

Joao Leno Pereira de Sousa et al.

Summary: The study on Parotocinclus cristatus revealed three distinct molecular operational units within the species, with deep genetic divergence between lineages. It also suggested an intricate scenario of headwater captures among samples from different basins, challenging traditional studies based on current geographic reliefs and ichthyofauna inventories.

Gross brain morphology of Hypoptopomatinae and Neoplecostominae (Siluriformes: Loricariidae): Comparative anatomy and phylogenetic implications

Alaina Cristine Rosa et al.

Summary: Hypoptopomatinae and Neoplecostominae consist of approximately 250 valid species, a significant part of loricariid catfishes. By analyzing neuroanatomical characters, it is concluded that neuroanatomy provides informative new characters with strong phylogenetic signals at all recovered taxonomic levels.
