Rineloricaria anhaguapitan[1][2] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in tributaries of the Passo Fundo River in the Uruguay River basin in Brazil . The species reaches 12.7 cm (5 inches) in standard length and is believed to be a facultative air-breather. Although its specific name has been spelled as both anhanguapitan and anhaguapitan, FishBase considers Rineloricaria anhaguapitan to be the correct name.[3]
