Furcodontichthys novaesi is the only species of the monotypic genus Furcodontichthys, a genus of the family Loricariidae of catfish (order Siluriformes).[1]
This species is known from the middle Amazon at Lake Tefé and from the upper Jurua River drainage in the Solimões River basin. F. novaesi inhabits sandy substrates.[1]
F. novaesi reaches a length of about 10 centimetres (4 in) SL.[2] As with closely related genera, males of Furcodontichthys show a hypertrophied development of the lips suggesting that this genus is a lip brooder.[1] The presence of conspicuous fringed barbels at the lip corners is unique among the Loricariinae subfamily.[1]
