Chaetostoma palmeri is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armoured catfishes, and the subfamily Hypostominae, the suckermouth catfishes.[2] This catfish is endemic to Colombia where it is only known from its type locality in the Tamaná River in the San Juan River drainage, in Chocó Department.[1] This species reaches a total length of 9.5 cm (3.7 in).[3] The specific name, palmeri, honours Mervyn George Palmer, an English naturalist, traveller and specimen collector in the Neotropics for the British Museum (Natural History), the collector of the holotype.[4]
