This species occupies the same or overlapping geographic area as Brochis pulchra from lineage 8 sub-clade 4. The differences between the two is that B. pulchra has one black line to body and C028 has two. It has been given the CW (CorydorasWorld) number of 28. Lineage: Placed in Lineage 9, the "short-snouted" species with the designated type species: C. punctatus. A revision and a description in the future would constitute the resurrection of the genus name Hoplisoma (Agassiz, 1846). A new revision (Dias et al 2024) has placed this species in Hoplisoma. Aquarium Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with small to medium tank mates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes. Diet: A good quality flake food and tablet food for adults with sporadic feedings of frozen or live food will keep your Corydoras/Hoplisoma in good health. Remarks: This is a very pretty species when in good condition. This species is still found on some online sources as Corydoras sp. (CW028).
