Spatuloricaria gymnogaster[3] is a species of is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armored catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the mailed catfishes.[2] This catfish occurs in the upper Magdalena River basin in Colombia.[1]

FishBase records a maximum standard length of 370 cm (146 in) for the species,[4] but this is unlikely and can be assumed to be a misprint, with 37.0 cm (14.6 in) being the actual upper bound stated in the reference cited.[5] Some sources list a standard length of 25 cm (9.8 in) for Spatuloricaria gymnogaster, and FishBase provides a maximum weight of 235.3 g.[6][4]
