Farlowella mitoupibo is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the armored suckermouth catfishes.[2] This catfish is found in South America, where it occurs in the upper Guaviare River, which is part of the Orinoco basin in Colombia. This species reaches a standard length of 19.3 cm (7.6 in).[3] It was described in 2016 by Gustavo A. Ballen, Alexander Urbano-Bonilla and Jhon Zamudio. Its specific name, mitoupibo, is derived from the Guahibo name for fishes of the genus Farlowella.[4]
