Bleheratherina pierucciae is a species of freshwater silverside endemic to New Caledonia. This species grows to 4.7 cm (1.9 in) in standard length. It is the only known species in its genus and subfamily.[1] This species was described by Aarn and Walter Ivantsoff in 2009 with the type locality of the Tontouta River, New Caledonia,.[2] The type was collected by Heiko Bleher and Paola Pierucci and Aarn and Ivantsoff named this species after both of them, the suffix -ae indicating Ms Pierucci's gender.[3]
