Hypostomus salgadae is a disputed species of catfish in the family Loricariidae that may be synonymous with the species Hypostomus carvalhoi.[1] It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Jaguaribe River basin in Brazil . FishBase reports the maximum length of the species as 2 cm (0.8 inches) in standard length, but it is likely that the species can exceed this size. It is believed to be a facultative or obligate air-breather.[2]

H. salgadae was originally described as Ancistrus salgadae by Henry Weed Fowler in 1941. A 2015 review conducted by Jonathan W. Armbruster, David C. Werneke, and Milton Tan reclassified the species as Hypostomus salgadae.[3] In 2017, Cláudio H. Zawadzki, Telton P. A. Ramos, and Mark H. Sabaj Pérez suggested that H. salgadae is a junior synonym of H. carvalhoi.[1] Despite this, some authorities consider Ancistrus salgadae to be the correct name.[2][4][5]
