[[ Peckoltia ]]
Currently,
Peckoltia
is recognized in the subfamily Hypostominae, tribe Ancistrini of the Loricariidae (Armbruster, in press). It is considered a basal genus of the Ancistrini with no clear relationships to other taxa and it is likely that it may be synonymous with
Hemiancistrus
.
Peckoltia
and
Hemiancistrus
are not diagnosable from one another and neither genus is supported by synapomorphies.
