| Identification | Based on Isbrücker (1979) and Covain et al. (2016), Crossoloricaria is similar to Pseudohemiodon but is distinguished by having one or two longitudinal rows of small dermal plates along the midline of the abdomen, with the lateral abdominal skin bare out to the thoracic scutes. Crossoloricaria is a strictly trans-Andean genus; cis-Andean species previously included in Crossoloricaria have been reclassified in Rhadinoloricaria, but may represent a new genus. |
