It differs from remaining species of the genus, except for R. setepovos Ghazzi, 2008, by the absence of plates in the cleithral region [vs cleithral region fully or partially covered by plates in R. atratoensis Castellanos-Mejía et al. 2024, R. aurata (Knaack, 2003), R. beni (Pearson, 1924), R. cadeae (Hensel, 1868), R. castroi Isbrücker &amp; Nijssen, 1984, R. catamarcensis (Berg, 1895), R. cubataonis (Steindachner, 1907), R. felipponei (Fowler, 1943), R. giua Castellanos-Mejía et al., 2024, R. henselii (Steindachner, 1907), R. jurupari Londoño-Burbano &amp; Urbano-Bonilla, 2018, R. lanceolata (Günther, 1868), R. langei Ingenito, Ghazzi, Duboc &amp; Abilhoa, 2008, R. lima (Kner, 1853), R. longicauda Reis, 1983, R. magdalenae (Steindachner, 1879), R. microlepidota (Steindachner, 1907), R. misionera Rodríguez &amp; Miquelarena, 2005, R. nigricauda (Regan, 1904), R. paraibensis Mejia &amp; Buckup, 2024, R. pareiacantha (Fowler, 1943), R. parva (Boulenger, 1895), R. quadrensis Reis, 1983, R. sanga Ghazzi, 2008, R. sneiderni (Fowler, 1944), R. stellata Ghazzi, 2008, R. strigilata (Hensel, 1868), R. thrissoceps (Fowler, 1943), R. uracantha (Kner, 1863), R. wolfei Fowler, 1940, R. zawadzkii Costa-Silva, Silva &amp; Oliveira, 2022]. In having a group of plates in the central abdominal region connected to the pre-anal plates the new species differs from R. setepovos, which has the abdomen completely naked.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Morphometric data are provided in Table 1. Species small (maximum SL of analysed adults 92.1 mm). Dorsal profile of head slightly convex to straight from snout to posterior process of supraoccipital. Dorsal profile of body straight from supraoccipital to pectoral-fin insertion and remains slightly straight from this point to caudal-fin base. Dorsal margin of orbit elevated. Triangular to slightly elliptical snout with large naked area extending from snout tip to first pore of infraorbital branch of sensory canal. Eyes small (2.6–5.3 % HL), dorsolaterally positioned with small postorbital notch, approximately ½ eye diameter. Lips covered with numerous small papillae randomly distributed. Lower lip exhibiting concentration of papillae around oral cavity. Lower lip larger than upper lip, not reaching pectoral girdle. Lip edge with discreet fringes and short ornamented maxillary barbel with reduced number of papillae. Both premaxilla and dentary bearing a row of slender, long, bicuspid teeth, with lateral cusp larger than medial cusp. Premaxilla with 6 or 7 (6) teeth and 6–8 (mode 6 or 7) teeth on dentary.</p><p>Ventral profile of head straight from snout tip to opercular region. Ventral profile of body slightly convex to caudal-fin base. Median lateral plates 26–28 (mode 27), incorporating laterosensory canals, with row of conspicuous keels. Anterior abdominal plates absent, leaving a large central area of pectoral girdle naked. Abdomen partially covered by plates. Abdominal plates of posterior complex start with polygonal pre-anal plate near urogenital pore. Pre-anal plate bordered anteriorly by three smaller plates, connected to small plates forming triangular group; these plates do not contact lateral abdominal plates and do not extend past pectoral-fin insertion. Rectangular lateral abdominal plates extend beyond pectoral-fin insertion.</p><p>Dorsal fin, I 7 with its origin posterior to pelvic-fin insertion, with longest dorsal-fin ray extending beyond anal-fin origin. dorsal-fin spinelet present. Unbranched dorsal-fin ray slightly surpassing anal-fin origin. Pectoral-fin, I 6, when positioned against body, reaches pelvic-fin insertion and, when extended, reaching anal-fin insertion. Pelvic-fin: i 5, with its origin posterior to dorsal-fin insertion. Unbranched pelvic-fin ray convex and not extending to anal-fin origin. Anal-fin: I 5, its origin posterior to posterior extremity of dorsal-fin rays. Adipose-fin absent. Caudal-fin: I 10 I, truncated, with upper unbranched caudal-fin ray prolonged into a short, thin filament.</p><p>Sexual dimorphism.</p><p>Sexually mature males exhibit hypertrophied odontodes, extending from the snout to the opercular region, as well as on the rays of the pectoral fin.</p><p>Colour in alcohol.</p><p>Background colour of dorsal body surface light-brown (Fig. 1). Five transverse bars along dorsal surface, first at dorsal-fin insertion, second at end of dorsal-fin, and with three other transverse bars on caudal peduncle. Pores of laterosensory canal pigmented dark brown. Ventral region yellow-brown. Pectoral, pelvic, and dorsal fins with small horizontal stripes on rays. Anal fin hyaline with tiny irregular stripe, slightly darker near distal portion. Caudal fin with brown spot at base, stripes on central region and at tip.</p><p>Habitat and distribution.</p><p>Rineloricaria harenae was found exclusively at the type locality (Fig. 2), a second-order stream with moderate water velocity and a depth of &lt;1 m. The riparian vegetation at the type locality has been completely replaced by pasture, and early signs of siltation were observed, with sandbank accumulation where all studied specimens were collected. So far, the new species appears to have a restricted distribution, occurring only in a tributary of the Itapocú River in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>From harenae, the Latin word for sand, in reference to the sandy substrate characteristic of the habitat where the new species was discovered. Treated as a noun in apposition.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D2612F4BDB3D51458E6A9C99E0D5535F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
