Abstract:
A new species of the genus Rineloricaria is described from the upper Vaupés River, upper Amazon basin, in Colombia. The new species is distinguished from congeners by its coloration pattern composed of a dark dorsolateral stripe on both sides of the body; and dorsal, pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins each with a dark spot occupying almost the entire fin; an abdomen covered by irregular dark brown spots; few teeth on the premaxilla; and the number of lateral plate series. An identification key for species of Rineloricaria from the Colombian Amazon basin is presented.

La nueva especie se diferencia de sus congéneres por: el patrón de coloración, compuesto por una banda longitudinal dorso lateral oscura en ambos lados del cuerpo, y aletas dorsal, pectoral, pélvica, y anal con una mancha oscura ocupando casi toda la aleta; un abdomen cubierto por manchas marrón oscuras irregulares, pocos dientes en el premaxilar, y número de hileras de placas en las series laterales. Se presenta una clave de identificación de las especies registradas para la cuenca del Amazonas en Colombia.

I wonder if this is the species we collected last year in Mitu, Colombia?

Looks like a sister species to R. lanceolata.
