Abstract
Schizolecis and Pseudotothyris, new genera, are described from small coastal rivers of southeastern Brazil. Pseudotocinclus Nichols, 1919 is redescribed. In contrast to all other genera of Hypoptopomatinae, these three genera have the tip of the snout formed by small platelets, covered with weak spines, identical to those on the head. The species included in this group are redescribed and Pseudotocinclus janeirensis, sp.n., is proposed.Keywords
