Hypoptopomatinae is a subfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Loricariidae.

Hypoptopomatinae is a monophyletic assemblage within the family Loricariidae.[2] It is composed by 17 genera and approximately 80 species.[3] This subfamily represents about one-tenth of all loricariid species.[4]

It is divided into two tribes, Hypoptopomatini and Otothyrini.[2] However, in a 2005 analysis, Otothyrini was found to not be monophyletic, with its representatives comprising a paraphyletic group in relation to the tribe Hypoptopomatini.[5] The most recent hypoptopomatine genus, Gymnotocinclus, was not classified in either of the tribes.[6]

In almost all species of hypoptopomatinae there is a diploid number of 2n = 54; this group is karyotypically very conserved.[7]

Hypoptopomatinae is distributed throughout cis-Andean South America from Venezuela to Northern Argentina.[3] Most of the hypoptopomatine species are usually found at or near the water surface, typically in close association with riverbank vegetation or some subsurface structure.[8]
