Resumen:
In this paper we describe Heptapterus mandimbusu sp. n., a new species of heptapterid catfish from a small tributary of the Uruguay River Basin in Misiones-Argentina. This new species is distinguished from all other congeners by the unique coloration pattern with aggregated melanophores scattered on dorsal and lateral surface of body, forming conspicuous size-variable blotches, and the combination of a long interdorsal distance (13.8?18.9 % SL), 14?18 anal-fin rays, short maxillary barbels (52.2?74.5 % HL), and the adipose fin confluent with caudal fin.
