Astroblepus mariae is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Astroblepidae, the climbing catfishes.[2] This catfish is found in South America, where it occurs in the Orinoco basin and in Pacific draining basins in streams and rivers at elevations between 980 and 2,200 m (3,220 and 7,220 ft).[1]
The specific name honors Hermano Apolinar Maria, director of the Museum at the Instituto de La Salle, Bogotá, who collected the holotype and offered Fowler the opportunity to study it.[3]
