Aphanotorulus
''Aphanotorulus'' is a genus of armored catfishes native to the Amazon, Orinoco, Essequibo and Jaguaribe basins in South America.Ray, C.K. & Armbruster, J.W. (2016): The genera ''Isorineloricaria'' and ''Aphanotorulus'' (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) with description of a new species. ''Zootaxa, 4072 (5): 501–539.'' They typically occur on a sand or gravel bottom in slow to moderately flowing rivers and streams, but some species occur in areas with fast current. The largest species in the genus reaches up to in standard length. Taxonomy The taxonomy of this genus has been a matter of dispute, all having been placed in ''Hypostomus'' in the past, and some occasionally placed in ''Squaliforma''. ''Squaliforma'' is now regarded as a synonym of ''Aphanotorulus'', but species west of the Andes have been moved to ''Isorineloricaria''. There are currently 7 recognized species of ''Aphanotorulus'': * '' Aphanotorulus ammophilus'' Armbruster & Page, 1996 * '' Aphanotorulus emargi ...

(2016): The genera ''Isorineloricaria'' and ''Aphanotorulus'' (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) with description of a new species. ''Zootaxa, 4072 (5): 501–539.'' Due to an initial erroneous publication, ''A. ammophilus'' was initially placed into '' Hypostomus'' instead of ''Aphanotorulus''. However, because this species shows sexual dimorphism, has a relatively flatter shape, and has a jagged posterior edge of its oral disc, it was placed in the genus ''Aphanotorulus''. ''A. ammoph ...

Hypostomus
''Hypostomus'' is a genus of catfish in the family Loricariidae. They are native to tropical and subtropical South America. '' H. plecostomus'' is the popular freshwater aquarium fish formerly known as ''Plecostomus plecostomus''. The taxonomic structure of the Loricariidae is still being expanded by scientists.

It is thought to be a facultative air-breather. ''A. gomesi'' was originally described as ''Plecostomus iheringi'' by Henry Weed Fowler in 1941, although Fowler later invalidated this name in 1942, replacing it with ''Plecostomus gomesi'' to avoid confusion with ''Plecostomus iheringii'' (a species which is currently known as '' Hypostomus iheringii'').

Isorineloricaria
''Isorineloricaria'' is a genus of catfish in the family Loricariidae from northwestern South America. They live in rivers and streams, typically with slow to moderately running water, in the Orinoco, Maracaibo, Magdalena and Guayas basins (one species in each basin). The largest species in the genus reaches up to in standard length. Taxonomy The taxonomy of this genus has been a matter of dispute, all having been placed in ''Hypostomus'' in the past, and some occasionally placed in ''Squaliforma''. ''Squaliforma'' is now regarded as a synonym of ''Aphanotorulus'', but species west of the Andes have been moved to ''Isorineloricaria''.

Hypostominae
The Hypostominae are a subfamily of catfishes of the family Loricariidae. Most members are restricted to tropical and subtropical South America, but there are also several species (in genera ''Ancistrus'', '' Chaetostoma'', ''Lasiancistrus'', '' Leptoancistrus'' and ''Hemiancistrus'') in southern Central America. ''Hypostomus plecostomus'', which is popular in the aquarium trade, has been introduced to several regions far from its native range. Studies conducted with representatives of some genera of Hypostominae showed, within this group, the diploid number ranges from 2n = 52 to 2n = 80. However, the supposed wide karyotypic diversity the family Loricariidae or the subfamily Hypostominae would present is almost exclusively restricted to the genus ''Hypostomus'', and the species from the other genera had a conserved diploid number.

Henry Weed Fowler
Henry Weed Fowler (March 23, 1878 – June 21, 1965) was an American zoologist born in Holmesburg, Pennsylvania. He studied at Stanford University under David Starr Jordan. He joined the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and worked as an assistant from 1903 to 1922, associate curator of vertebrates from 1922 to 1934, curator of fish and reptiles from 1934 to 1940 and curator of fish from 1940 to 1965. He published material on numerous topics including crustaceans, birds, reptiles and amphibians, but his most important work was on fish. In 1927 he co-founded the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists and acted as treasurer until the end of 1927. In 1934 he went to Cuba, alongside Charles Cadwalader (president of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia), at the invitation of Ernest Hemingway to study billfishes, he stayed with Hemingway for six weeks and the three men developed a friendship which continued after this trip and Hemingway sent speci ...
