Pyxiloricaria, is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armored catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the mailed catfishes.[1][3] The only species in the genus is Pyxiloricaria menezesi.[4]
This species is endemic to Brazil where it occurs in the Paraguay River drainage.[3] P. menezesi inhabits sandy substrates and is sympatric with representatives of the genus Pseudohemiodon.[3]
Pyxiloricaria menezesi reaches a length of 14.0 centimetres (5.5 in) SL.[5] The phylogenetic position is uncertain; although it is thought to be closely related to Pseudohemiodon, it shares with Loricaria filamentous lips, inconspicuous fringed barbels on the lower lip, and shorter maxillary barbels.[3]
