List of Corydoras species

List of Corydoras species is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand List of Corydoras species rather than just read about it. In short: This is an alphabetically ordered list of Corydoras species. It includes those species subsequently re-allocated to other genera, such as Gastrodermus, Osteogaster, Brochis, and Hoplisoma.

Key takeaways

List of Corydoras species belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect List of Corydoras species to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of List of Corydoras species from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

This is an alphabetically ordered list of Corydoras species. It includes those species subsequently re-allocated to other genera, such as Gastrodermus, Osteogaster, Brochis, and Hoplisoma. These genera were resurrected following a phylogenomic analysis in 2024. Each entry includes: binomial scientific name, describer and year of publication. Some entries are indicated with existing (common name) and synonyms.

Species There have been more than 200 species recognized in this genus: Recent species

Fossil species

†Corydoras revelatus Cockerell, 1925—fossil species from the Late Paleocene

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of Corydoras species

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of Corydoras species claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of Corydoras species before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of Corydoras species ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of Corydoras species

In research: List of Corydoras species appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of Corydoras species in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of Corydoras species is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Corydoras, Fishkeeping, Lists of animal species, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of Corydoras species outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
