Fonchiiichthys is a small genus of catfish from Central and South America. It is often considered to be monotypic, containing only F. uracanthus.
Fonchiiichthys has recently been considered invalid, having been synonymised with Rineloricaria, along with Ixinandria, Hemiloricaria, and Leliella. However, FishBase still considers Fonchiiichthys and Ixinandria as valid.
