The analysis of these sequences indicates that within the clade of Hypostominae + Ancistrinae, Chaetostoma + Ancistrus form the sister group of all other analysed ancistrines and hypostomines. The Ancistrinae as presently defined, include all analysed Hypostominae and therefore are paraphyletic. The monophyly of <i>Ancistrus</i>, including the recently described <i>A. ranunculus</i>, is strongly supported.
