Species

Thoburnia hamiltoni Raney & Lachner, 1946 Thoburnia rhothoeca
The species T. atripinnis, formerly placed in this genus, is now placed in its own genus, Vexillichthys. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Vexillichthys is more closely related to hogsuckers than to other species of Thoburnia.
