Etymology: anosteos: From the Greek Gymnos, naked, and Otocinclus, a genus of the Hypoptopomatinae, in allusion to the extreme
reduction of the body encasing dermal plates. From the Greek anosteos, meaning boneless, in allusion to the absence of the late.

Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Gymnotocinclus is distinguished from all other hypoptopomatine genera by the following uniquely derived features: extreme reduction of body dermal plates; absence of the lateral connecting bone; absence of bifid hemal spines on the abdominal vertebrae posterior to the first anal-fin proximal radial; and odontode tips
on last dermal plates on the caudal peduncle dorsally or anteriorly curved. Gymnotocinclus is also distinguished
by a number of non-exclusive traits: maxillary barbel adnateto the lower lip; lateral ethmoid almost completely encapsulating the nasal organ; ventral margin of preopercle straight, not deflected medially; pectoral girdle exposed and
supporting odontodes only in a restricted lateral area near base of pectoral fin; and absence of a pectoral-fin slit (Ref. 79020).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
