Leporacanthicus joselimai

Leporacanthicus joselimai is a species of armored catfish endemic to Brazil where it is found in the Tapajós River basin. This species grows to a length of 9.8 cm SL.

Etymology
The fish is named in honor of ichthyologist José Lima de Figueiredo (b. 1943), of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, who pointed the senior author’s study to the genera now known as Leporacanthicus and Hopliancistrus.
