Rineloricaria maquinensis 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 occurs in the basins of the Maquiné River and the Araranguá River in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina in southeastern Brazil.[1] It is typically found in small creeks with clear, shallow water and rocky substrates. The species reaches a standard length of 8.5 cm (3.3 in) and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[3]
