Panaqolus gnomus, the dwarf panaque,[3] is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armored catfishes, and the subfamily Hypostominae, the suckermouth catfishes.[2] This catfish occurs in the basins of the Pastaza River and the Marañón River in Ecuador and Peru, and in the Ucayali River drainage in Peru.[1] This species reaches a standard length of 7.1 cm (2.8 in).[3] It is the type species of the genus Panaqolus, which was historically considered to be a clade of small-sized species within the genus Panaque, hence the common name of this species.[4]
