Hypostomus borellii is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to the upper and middle Pilcomayo River basin in Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia.[1][2] The species reaches 16.1 cm (6.3 in) standard length and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[2]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of French-born Italian zoologist Alfredo Borelli (1858–1943) of the Università di Torino, who led three expeditions to South America and collected many animals, including the holotype of this species.[3]
