Rhadinoloricaria macromystax is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae and the genus Rhadinoloricaria.[1] The genus was monotypic until 2020, when a new species, R. stewarti, was described.[2]
Rhadinoloricaria macromystax is native to
Orinoco River basins, as well as the Essequibo and Tocantins drainages. It is known to occur over sandy substrates. The species reaches a length of 14.2 centimetres (5.6 in) in standard length.[3]
It is relatively unknown and uncommon in museum collections, and ecological and behavioral data is unavailable for this species.
