We included seventy-one unique records. Seven introduced species or hybrids of the genus Pterygoplichthys have been reported from five continents, plus an extended range in their native South America, and twenty-one countries (Fig. 1).</p><p>Of these, fifteen records involve detections (i.e. species present but whose establishment status is unknown) and fifty-five instances are established (i.e. reproducing) populations. A single successful eradication of a previously established population of P. disjunctivus is reported from the Rainbow River, Florida, USA (Hill and Sowards 2015). The most abundant established populations are those of P. disjunctivus and P. pardalis (n = 22 each), followed by P. multiradiatus (n = 5), P. ambrosetti (n = 4), and likely hybrids of P. disjunctivus x pardalis (n = 2) (Table 3).</p><p>© 2018 Academia Sinica, Taiwan</p><p>The first established population was reported from Florida, USA in the late 1950s (Fuller et al. 1999). Since 1985, the number of both detected and established reports in the literature has rapidly risen (Fig. 2). The summarized data will be deposited online through GBIF.</p><p>© 2018 Academia Sinica, Taiwan</p><p>Generic Impact Scoring System (GISS)</p><p>Our literature survey produced twenty-one papers providing evidence on the impacts of Pterygoplichthys spp. in their nonnative ranges. In table 4, we provide detailed justifications for scores along with references used to calculate the GISS. The six environmental categories yielded a score of 11-12 (of a possible 30), while the four socioeconomic categories evaluated yielded a score of 7 (of a possible 20), resulting in a cumulative GISS of 18-19 (of a possible 50) for the genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA87D2FF8BFFE9FC83FBC5FCB4FDFB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
