Hypoptopoma
''Hypoptopoma'' is a genus of armored catfishes native to South America. Taxonomy The genus was established by Albert C. L. G. Günther in 1868 for his new species ''Hypoptopoma thoracatum'', on the basis of the peculiar, depressed, spatulate formation of the head with the eyes on the lateral edges of the head. Species There are currently 15 recognized species in this genus: * '' Hypoptopoma baileyi'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma bianale'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma brevirostratum'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma elongatum'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma guianense'' Boeseman, 1974 * '' Hypoptopoma gulare'' Cope, 1878 * '' Hypoptopoma incognitum'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma inexspectatum'' (Holmberg, 1893) * '' Hypoptopoma joberti'' ( Vaillant, 1880) * '' Hypoptopoma machadoi'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma muzuspi'' Aquino & Schaefer, 2010 * '' Hypoptopoma psilogaster'' Fowler, 1915 * '' Hypoptopoma ...

Hypoptopomatini
The Hypoptopomatinae are a subfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Loricariidae, composed of 17 genera and approximately 80 species. This subfamily represents about one-tenth of all loricariid species. It has been divided into two tribes, Hypoptopomatini and Otothyrini. However, in a 2005 analysis, Otothyrini was found to not be monophyletic, with its representatives comprising a paraphyletic group in relation to the tribe Hypoptopomatini. More recent phylogenetic evidence shows that Hypoptopomatini and Otothyrini, while each are monophyletic tribes, do not form a monophyletic subfamily, and therefore should each be recognized as their own individual subfamilies. Problematically, the most recent hypoptopomatine genera, '' Gymnotocinclus'' and ''Rhinolekos'', were not classified in either of the tribes. Almost all species of Hypoptopomatinae have a diploid number of 2n = 54; this group is karyotypically very conserved. Hypoptopomatinae are distributed east of t ...

Hypoptopoma Joberti
''Hypoptopoma joberti'' is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is known to inhabit rivers in South America, with specimens being collected from the Matos River in Bolivia. While ITIS lists this species as valid, FishBase FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web.
considers it to be a synonym of ''Hypoptopoma gulare''.
