Biology:Lophiosilurus
Lophiosilurus is a genus of catfish in the family Pseudopimelodidae, which is endemic to South America. The genus was long thought to be monotypic, with L. alexandri as its only species, but a 2021 study determined the genus Cephalosilurus to be paraphyletic with respects to L. alexandri;[1] consequently, Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes considers Cephalosilurus as a junior synonym of Lophiosilurus,[2] though the World Register of Marine Species/FishBase retains two species in the former.[3]
The following species are accepted by EcOF (species retained in Cephalosilurus by WoRMS are marked with C):[2][3]
- Lophiosilurus albomarginatus (Eigenmann, 1912) (Tukeit, Guyana)[4]
- Lophiosilurus alexandri (Eigenmann, 1912) (São Francisco River)[5]
- Lophiosilurus apurensis (Mees, 1978) (Rio Arichuna, Apure)[6]
- Lophiosilurus fowleri Haseman, 1911 (São Francisco River basin)[7] C
- Lophiosilurus nigricaudus (Mees, 1974) (Sipaliwini District, Suriname)[8] C
