As discussed in this thread:
this thread, the loricariids currently in
and
need to be reassessed following Raph Covain's advice.

It is really up to Jools. They currently follow Ferraris 2007 in the cat-elog. Rodriguez & Reis (2008) keeps them seperate as does the description of Rineloricaria langei and R. maacki, which were both published after Raph's paper. On the other hand Rapp Py-Daniel and Ilana Fichberg published in 2008 and followed Raph's paper. No right or wrong on this one... just differing opinions.
