Euryochus thysanos is a species of armored catfish endemic to eastern Brazil where it is found from the Itapemirim River, across the larger Mucuri River and Doce River Basins to the Frades River in Bahia state. This species is the only recognized member of its genus. This species grows to a length of 12.0 centimetres (4.7 in) TL.
The generic name Euryochus is from the Greek for "large eye", and the specific name θύσανος "thýsanos", meaning tassel or fringe, refers to the finely fringed margin of lower lip. [1]
