Harttiella parva is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the armoured suckermouth catfishes. This catfish is known only from a small forest creek in the Atachi Bakka Mountains in French Guiana. This species reaches a standard length of 3.1 cm (1.2 in).[3] It was described in 2012 as part of a taxonomic review of members of the loricariid tribe Harttiini native to the Guianas.[4]
