Loricariichthys brunneus, [3] is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the armoured suckermouth catfishes. [2] This catfish is found in the basin of the Orinoco in Colombia ans Venezuela, records from Guyana, Peru and Suriname require confirmation. [1] L. brunneus reaches a maximum standard length of 31.5 cm (12.4 in) and is thought to be a facultative air breather. [4] A species of parasitic nematode in the family Guyanemidae, Guyanema longispiculum , was described in 1996 from the abdominal cavity of L. brunneus specimens. [5]
