Sturisoma reisi

Sturisoma reisi[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Cautário River, the Guaporé River, the Ji-Paraná River, the Mamoré River, and the Sotério River in the Madeira River basin in Bolivia and Brazil. It was described in 2022 by Alejandro Londoño-Burbano and Marcelo Ribeiro de Britto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro on the basis of distinctive genetic and morphological characteristics.[2][3]

Etymology

[edit]

The fish is named in honor of the authors’ colleague, Brazilian ichthyologist Roberto E. Reis, of the Pontificia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, for his contributions to Neotropical ichthyology.[4]
