Hypostomus perdido[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Perdido River, which is part of the Paraguay River basin in Brazil . It is typically found in portions of the river that have still or slow-moving water. The species reaches 18.1 cm (7.1 inches) SL and is believed to be a facultative air-breather. Its specific epithet, perdido, references the river in which it occurs.[2]
