Abstract in Portuguese
O grupo Acanthicus (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) é composto por quatro gêneros: Acanthicus, Megalancistrus, Leporacanthicus e Pseudacanthicus. O monofiletismo do grupo composto por estes géneros foi previamente suportado por dados morfológicos e moleculares. Com o intuito de elucidar as relações filogenéticas entre as espécies do grupo Acanthicus foram analisados 21 representantes do grupo interno e mais 12 táxons de Ancistrini como grupos externos, com base em 121 caracteres fenotípicos de diferentes complexos anatômicos. A análise de parcimônia resultou em duas árvores igualmente parcimoniosas com 453 passos (CI= 0,32 RI= 0,66). O monofiletismo do grupo Acanthicus foi corroborado com base em 11 sinapomorfias, três destas exclusivas: crista do hiomandibular contínua a do quadrado; extremidade distal dos dentes do pré-maxilar acentuadamente curvada e quilhas na lateral do corpo bastante desenvolvidas. As relações entre os táxons do grupo Acanthicus mais Spectracanthicus resultaram na seguinte topologia: ((Spectracanthicus) (Megalancistrus, Acanthicus) (Leporacanthicus, Pseudacanthicus))). A nomenclatura genérica do grupo foi reformulada seguindo a hipótese filogenética e a revisão taxonômica resultou no reconhecimento de 18 espécies válidas no grupo Acanthicus, nove destas novas. No gênero Pseudacanthicus, P. fordii foi considerado sinônimo de P. serratus e P. histrix sinônimo de P. spinosus; ademais seis novas espécies foram descritas para as bacias dos rios Aripuanã, Tocantins, Tapajós, Curuá-Una e Xingu. Oligancistrus foi considerado sinônimo de Spectracanthicus e foram descritas três novas espécies das bacias dos rios Tapajós, Tocantins e Xingu.

Abstract in English
The Acanthicus group (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) is currently composed of four genera: Acanthicus, Megalancistrus, Leporacanthicus e Pseudacanthicus. The monophyly of the group has been previously supported by both morphological and molecular data. To investigate the relationships among the Acanthicus group species, 21 taxa of the ingroup and 12 taxa of other Ancistrini as out-groups were studied on the basis of 121 phenotipic characters of different anatomical complexes. Parsimony analysis resulted in two most parsimonious trees with 453 steps (CI= 0,32 RI= 0,66). Monophyly of the Acanthicus group was corroborated by 11 synapomorphies, three of which exclusive: hiomandibular ridge contiguous with ridge of the quadrate, distal edge of premaxillary teeth strongly curved with well-developed keels. Relationships of the Acanthicus group plus Spectracanthicus resulted in the following topology: (Spectracanthicus ((Megalancistrus, Acanthicus) (Leporacanthicus, Pseudacanthicus))). Genus-level nomenclature of the group was reformed on the basis of the phylogenetic hypothesis and of a taxonomic revision which resulted in the recognition of 18 valid species in the Acanthicus group, nine of which new. In the genus Pseudacanthicus, P. fordii was recognized as a junior synonym of P. serratus and P. histrix of P. spinosus, with six new species from the Aripuanã, Tocantins, Tapajós, Curuá-Una and Xingu Rivers Basins. Oligancistrus was recognized as a junior synonym of Spectracanthicus and three new species were described in the latter, from the Tapajós, Tocantins and Xingu River Basins.
