At this moment in time there are: -
150 described species of Corydoras
20 species of Aspidoras
6 species of Scleromystax
3 species ofBrochis

C-numbers are now up to C153, however 32 of these have been proven to be described species, which means there are 121 known undescribed species. There are in all probability far more undescribed species than this.
