A new monotypic genus and two new species of South American mailed catfishes of the subfamily Loricariinae are described and figured. A discussion of and comparative notes on related taxa are added. Ricola genus novum is established for the species originally described by Regan (1904) as Loricaria (Loricaria) macrops. A lectotype for Ricola macrops is selected from the two syntypes, originating from Rio de la Plata in Argentina/Uruguay. Ricola macrops is compared with species of the genus…
