Distribution. Paraná-Paraguay system, in Brazil and Paraguay, and río Capare-Mamoré, in Bolívia ( Eschmeyer et al., 2017).
Remarks. Gymnotus pantanal is a non-native species from the upper rio Paraná, and its occurrence in the region can be associated with its introduction as a live bait by anglers, or with the filling of the Itaipu Reservoir and the consequent inundation of the Sete Quedas Falls.
