New tribe-level classification of Hypostominae (Loricariidae) based on optimization of morphological states on DNA-based relationships, with descriptions of three new tribes and two new genera

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Armbruster, Jonathan W., Lujan, Nathan K. (2024): New tribe-level classification of Hypostominae (Loricariidae) based on optimization of morphological states on DNA-based relationships, with descriptions of three new tribes and two new genera. Neotropical Ichthyology 22 (4): e 240108, DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-2024-0108, URL: doi.org/10.1590/1982-0224-2024-0108 Hypostominae tribe-level taxonomy is revised with new recognition and cladistic diagnoses of previously proposed family-level names for the Acanthicus (Acanthicini), Chaetostoma (Chaetostomatini), and Hemiancistrus (Spectracanthicini) clades.

Three new tribes are described for the Peckoltia, Pseudancistrus, and ‘ Pseudancistrus ’ clades, with a new tribe erected for two new monotypic genera containing the sister species ‘ Pseudancistrus ’ sidereus and ‘ P.’ pectegenitor. This third new tribe is known only from the upper Orinoco and Negro Rivers and is identifiable by having an accentuated keel on the caudal peduncle formed by dorsal laminae of the ventral plate series being strongly concave.
