Loricariidae is the largest family of catfish (order Siluriformes), with over 90 genera and just over 680 species. [4] Loricariids originate from freshwater habitats of Costa Rica , Panama , and tropical and subtropical South America .

Species, genera and statistics for the catfish family Loricariidae particuarly those kept and bred in aquaria.

Loricarioidea is a superfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes). It contains the six families Trichomycteridae, Nematogenyiidae, Callichthyidae, Scoloplacidae, Astroblepidae, and Loricariidae. Some schemes also include Amphiliidae. This superfamily, including Amphiliidae, includes about 156 genera and 1,187 species. [3]

Table 10.2 shows the taxonomy of the family Loricariidae, to which the devil fish belongs.

Among Siluriformes, Loricariidae (armored catfishes) is one of the largest families of Neotropical freshwater fishes, with about 1000 valid species distributed from Costa Rica in Central America to the La Plata basin in the southern portion of South America (Eschmeyer and Fong 2020).

2019年6月1日 · Neotropical freshwaters host more than 6000 fish species, of which 983 are suckermouth armored catfishes of the family Loricariidae – the most-diverse catfish family and fifth most species-rich vertebrate family on Earth.

Despite dozens of morphology and DNA based phylogenies of the Loricariidae, our understanding of the evolutionary history of this highly diverse and ecologically and commercially important family remains quite coarse.

Loricaria was the first genus of the family Loricariidae described. [1] Thus, it is the nominal genus of the family Loricariidae. [2] Phylogenetic relationships within Loricaria and among other members of Loricariini remain uncertain. Its external morphology shows few shared derived characters, making comparison with other genera difficult. Loricaria has been hypothesized to …
