Open encyclopedia reference
Harttiella janmoli is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armored catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the mailed catfishes. This catfish is known only from a small forest creek near Cottica Mountain in French Guiana, at an elevation of 515 m (1,690 ft) above sea level. This species reaches a standard length of 4.7 cm (1.9 in).. It was described in 2012 as part of a taxonomic review of members of the loricariid tribe Harttiini native to the Guianas.
