Cetopsorhamdia iheringi is a species of three-barbeled catfishes native to the upper reaches of the Paraná and São Francisco River basins in Brazil.[2] This species reaches a length of 11.1 cm (4.4 in).[3]

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of Rodolpho von Ihering (1883–1939), the founder of the Estação Experimental de Biologia e Piscicultura in Piraçununga, Brazil, who was a pioneer in the study and the culture of Brazilian freshwater fishes.[4]
