Resumen:
Trichomycterus catamarcensis, new species, is described from a tributary to the high elevation Laguna Blanca in Departamento Bele´n, Provincia de Catamarca, Argentina.

The new species is separable from the other members of the Trichomycterinae by its lack of the pelvic fins and girdle, the form of the body and caudal fin, the number of dorsal fin rays and ribs, its pigmentation pattern, the form of premaxillary dentition, and the maximum body size. elevation Laguna Blanca in Departamento Bele´n, Provincia de Catamarca, Argentina.
