Hemiancistrus chlorostictus 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 Brazil where it is found in the basin of the Uruguay River in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.[1] This species reaches a standard length of 14.7 cm (5.8 in).[3] H. chlorostictus has been assessed as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because it has a rather restricted range which has, at least partially, been altered by hydroelectric schemes.[1]n
