Brochiloricaria is a small genus of armored catfishes native to South America.
Species
There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[1]
- Brochiloricaria chauliodon Isbrücker, 1979
- Brochiloricaria macrodon (Kner, 1853)
Appearance and anatomy
Brochiloricaria is morphologically very similar to Loricaria and can be distinguished from the latter only by its teeth characteristics; in Brochiloricaria, the teeth are very long and of equal size on both jaws, while in Loricaria the premaxillary teeth are almost two times longer than dentary teeth.[2] However, dentition may not be a reliable characteristic to differentiate to genera, so Brochiloricaria may actually be a synonym of Loricaria.[2]
Both species of Brochiloricaria reach almost 30 centimetres (12 in) in length.[1]
Ecology
Brochiloricaria is an abdomino-lip brooder.[2]
