Copionodon is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae. It includes three species, C. lianae, C. orthiocarinatus, and C. pecten.
Species
There are currently three recognized species in this genus:[1]
Copionodon lianae Campanario & de Pinna, 2000
Copionodon orthiocarinatus de Pinna, 1992
Copionodon pecten de Pinna, 1992
Distribution
C. orthiocarinatus and C. pecten originate from the Mucujê River, a tributary of Paraguaçu River in Bahia, Brazil. C. lianae originates from the Grisante River, a tributary of the Mucujê River.[2]
Description
Copionodon species grow to about 3.8–6.2 centimetres (1.5–2.4 inches) SL.[3][4][5]
