Corymbophanes is a genus of armored catfish native to South America where they are only known from Guyana. Corymbophanes was originally placed in its own tribe Corymbophanini, but the first comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily Hypostominae found Corymbophanes to be nested within the tribe Ancistrini.
==Taxonomy== Corymbophanes and its type species, C. andersoni, were first described in 1909 by Carl H. Eigenmann. In 2000, they were redescribed along with the description of a new species, C. kaiei. In 2004, the tribe Corymbophanini was erected.
