Rineloricaria reisi [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 occurs in the Uruguay River basin, specifically the Piratini River and the Conceição River in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul,[1] as well as Misiones Province in Argentina.[4] This species reaches a standard length of 19 cm (7.5 in) and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[5] The Specific name honors the Brazilian ichthyologist Roberto Esser dos Reis, recognising his contribution to the study of Neotropical fishes, in particular the mailed catfishes.[6]
