Corydoras julii

Hoplisoma julii, the julii cory or leopard catfish, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae, the corys, of the family Callichthyidae, the armoured catfishes. This catfish is found in the Parnaíba River basin, in the states of Ceará, Piauí and Maranhão, as well as in the coastal basins of Maranhão and the lower Amazon River. This species may be endemic to the Maranhão-Piauí ecoregion. However, there are records of the species in streams of northeastern Pará, in the Maracanã and Marapanim River basins. Other records of this species are from the Marañón, Tigre, Huallaga and Ucayali rivers and their tributaries in Peru, as well as in the Leticia region, in the Amazon River basin of Colombia.
