Glandulocaudinae Eigenmann, 1914

Diagnosis. Synapomorphies 3 (modified, hypertrophied terminal caudal peduncle squamation extending onto caudal fin from ventral region of dorsal caudal-fin lobe) and 4 (caudal gland cells consisting of modified club cells) discussed above are unequivocal conditions that corroborate the hypothesis that Lophiobrycon , Glandulocauda , and Mimagoniates form a monophyletic group.
