| Resumen : | Harttia merevari, a new species of loricariid catfish, is described from eight specimens captured in the upper Caura River,Orinoco River basin, Venezuela. The new species is recognized by the following combination of characters: abdomen naked;
two or three preanal plates; a bony plate before each branchial opening; seven lateral plates between the pectoral and pelvic
fins; maxillary barbel short and attached to the oral disk by a fleshy fold; head dorsal surface and anterior portion of the body light or dark yellow with numerous, round black spots; posterior region of the body light or dark yellow with five black
transverse bands, dorsal central area of the two anterior bands diffused. The discovery of this new species extends the
distribution of the genus northwest to include the Orinoco River basin on the northern slope of the Guyana shield. |
