Rineloricaria
''Rineloricaria'' (from the Greek, ''rhinos'' meaning ''nose'', and the Latin, ''lorica'' meaning ''cuirass of leather'') is a genus of freshwater tropical catfish (order Siluriformes) belonging to the Loricariidae family. They are commonly called whiptail catfish because of the long filament that grows out of the tip of the caudal fin that is characteristic of the genus. With the exception of ''R. altipinnis'' from Panama, they are native to the rivers of northern and central South America. Some species are regularly seen in the aquarium trade.
==Taxonomy==
This genus was described by Pieter Bleeker in 1862, with ''R. lima'' as the type species. This genus is by far one of the most speciose of the subfamily Loricariinae, containing about 30 species. On the other hand, it is one of the least resolved genera. In 2008, 14 new species were added to this genus.〔〔〔〔
''Hemiloricaria'', ''Fonchiiichthys'', and ''Leliella'' been variably considered synonyms of ''Rineloricaria''; these genera were erected to account for differences in sexually dimorphic traits. However, the traits used to diagnose these genera have been thought to be insufficient.〔
