Chaetostoma stroumpoulos 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 species is endemic to Peru and is known only from its type locality of the Huallaga River in the vicnity of Tingo María.[1] The species was described alongside the species Chaetostoma daidalmatos in 2006 by Norma J. Salcedo on the basis of distinctive morphology and coloration.[3] This species reaches a standard length of 120 mm (4.7 in).[4] The International Union for Conservation of Nature have assessed that this species is Endangered because it has a restricted range and its habitats are threatened by deforestation, agriculture and poluution, including pollution from mining and the spraying by herbicides on illegal coca plantations by the authorities.[1]
