Hi!
Well the Rineloricaria Hemiloricaria and assimilated have odontodes on the cheek, some species have alsosome on the pectoral fins and on the top of the head.
For the Loricaria and similar, males have bigger lips
For Sturisoma, males have odontodes on the cheek
Finally for the Farlowella, males have odontodes on the rostre, and the rostre is also wider than the one of the femal...
Cheers
Yann
