Teleostei (teleosts) > Siluriformes (Catfishes) > Loricariidae (Armored catfishes) > Hypostominae
Etymology: Hopliancistrus: Greek, hoplon = weapon + Greek, agkistron = hook (Ref. 45335);  xikrin: Named for the Xikrin indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the Rio Bacaja margins. The Xikrin people belong to the "Je" linguistic trunk, calling themselves "Mebengokre", who in turn are related to the Kayapo people with whom they share the same self-denomination, cultural characteristics such as body painting patterns, language, residence and marital relations, rituals, chants, and naming system..

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00712 - 0.03216), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
