Rineloricaria henselii[3] is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the suckermouth armored catfishes.[2] This catfish is known only from the holotype which was collected in the Cubatão River at Águas Mornas in southern Santa Catarina, Brazil.[1] This species reaches a standard length of 7 cm (2.8 in) and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[4]
The specific name honors the German naturalist Reinhold Hensel, who described releated species.[5]
