Rineloricaria steindachneri[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 endemic to the lower Paraíba do Sul in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil.[1] The species reaches a standard length of 19 cm (7.5 in) and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[4] The specific name honors the Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner, who was the first to repport this fish, albeit under the name R. lima.[5]
