Loricariichthys brunneus,[2] commonly called Alcalde for 'Mayor', Paleta for 'palette' or Tabla for 'table'[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Orinoco basin in Guyana and Venezuela. The species is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[3] A species of parasitic nematode in the family Guyanemidae, Guyanema longispiculum, was described in 1996 from the abdominal cavity of L. brunneus specimens.[4]
