Hypostomus formosae[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is a freshwater species native to South America, where it occurs in the Paraguay River basin. The species reaches at least 24.9 cm (9.8 inches) SL.[2]
H. formosae was described in 2016 by Yamila Paula Cardoso, Florencia Brancolini, Ariel Paracampo, Marta Lizarralde, Raphael Covain, and Juan I. Montoya-Burgos alongside a redescription of its congener Hypostomus boulengeri based on morphological and molecular analyses.[2] FishBase does not list this species.
The species' specific epithet, formosae, refers to Formosa Province in Argentina , not to Taiwan, unlike some species bearing the same specific epithet (such as Dendrocitta formosae).[3]
