Genus of fishes
Pimelodella is a genus of three-barbeled catfishes .
Pimelodella is the largest genus in the family. However, it is in need of taxonomic revision.[ 1]
This genus is found on both sides of the Andes , ranging from Panama to Paraguay and southern Brazil .[ 1] With the exception of P. chagresi , all members of the genus are restricted to South America. This genus includes two species of troglobitic catfishes, P. kronei and P. spelaea .[ 1]
