Neoplecostominae is a subfamily of South American catfishes of the family Loricariidae. Species of this subfamily live in high-mountain and swift-flowing river habitats.[3]
Taxonomy
This subfamily is the most basal clade in Loricariidae with the exception of Lithogeneinae.[4] The genera do not form a monophyletic assemblage.[5] Neoplecostominae is not diagnosed by any unique characteristic.[3] However, molecular studies have supported this grouping.[4]
Within the paraphyletic Neoplecostominae, Pareiorhina forms a monophyletic subunit that also includes Neoplecostomus.[6]
