subdivision =Ancistrini Corymbophanini Hypostomini Pterygoplichthyini Rhinelepini Hypostominae is a subfamily of
catfish es (order Siluriformes) of the familyLoricariidae .Studies conducted with representatives of some genera of Hypostominae showed that within thisgroup, the diploid number ranges from 2n = 52 to 2n = 80. However, the supposed wide karyotypic diversity that the family Loricariidae or the subfamily Hypostominaewould present is almost exclusively restricted to the genus "
Hypostomus ", and the species from the other genera had a conserved diploid number.
