Rondonacara hoehnei

Fish

Rondonacara hoehnei is a species of cichlid fish of the subfamily Cichlinae. It is endemic to the upper das Mortes River basin in the Araguaia drainage of central Brazil. It is the only known member of its genus, Rondonacara, although it was formerly included in the genus Aequidens. The English Wikipedia article says it had not been rated by the IUCN and records a suggestion that it is seriously threatened and should be considered critically endangered, while FishBase lists an IUCN assessment of Least Concern dated November 2018. Its specific name honours the collector of the type specimen, the Brazilian botanist Frederico Carlos Hoehne, who lived from 1882 to 1959.
