Abstract
Otothyropsis alicula is described from the Rio Santo Antônio, Rio Grande basin, upper Rio Paraná drainage, Brazil. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by having a unique color pattern in the caudal fin, rectangular dorsal-fin spinelet, short pectoral-fin spine and first pelvic-fin ray, suture between contiguous bifid neural spines two-thirds the distance from the vertebral centrum to their distal tips, absence of an odontode crest on the posterior portion of the parieto-supraoccipital, and other morphometric and meristic features. An updated identification key to the species of Otothyropsis is provided.
