Sturisomatichthys

The genus Sturisomatichthys was established in 1979 by Isbrücker and Nijssen. It is a split from a number of species from the genus Sturisoma. The genus currently has about 13 species. The only thing that distinguishes them from Sturisoma that is indicated in the description is the lack of a rostrum. In Latin this means “mouth” but is often used for snout. It is possible that this genus will later be merged with Sturisoma.
