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]

gollark: I'm not worried about storage space. There are other problems.
gollark: Yes. I know since you have test.
gollark: Ah. You do NOT have April Folly.
gollark: Meh, rounding errors.
gollark: Well in that case you would have more than 104.7 points.
