Scoloplax is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes, it is the only genus in the monotypic family Scoloplacidae, the spiny dwarf catfishes. The catfishes in this genus are found in South America.
==Taxonomy== Scoloplax was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1976 by the American ichthyologists Reeve Maclaren Bailey and Jonathan N. Baskin when they described S. dicra.S, dicra was collected in 1964 on an expedition to Bolivia where it was caught in an oxbow near the Rio Itenez. Bailey and Baskin noted that this catfish was apparently closely related to the family Loricariidae and placed it in the new subfamily Scoloplacinae, which is now regarded as the family Scoloplacidae within the suborder Loricarioidei in the catfish order, Siluriformes.
