Original Abstract: Luis Fernández Miguel, Lillo Foundation, Department of Ichthyology, Tucumán, Argentina
Trichomycterus barbouri (Eigenmann, 1911) is redescribed based on adult and juvenile specimens, and is distinguished from all congeners by external and osteological characters. The species previously known only from the type locality Beni river in Bolivia, is recorded here the first time for Argentina, from localities in the provinces of Tucumán, Catamarca, Córdoba and Salta. Trichomycterus barbouri is compared with some Argentinian congeners.
