Curculionichthys paresi is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armoured catfishes, and the subfamily Hypoptopomatinae, the cascudinhos. This catfish is endemic to Brazil where it is only known from three small tributaries of the Sepotuba River, in the upper Paraguay River basin in the state of Mato Grosso.
