Astroblepus vanceae 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 small, high altitude streams in the Andean Amazon basin of Peru.[1] This species attains a maximum standard length of 8 cm (3.1 in).[3]
The specific name, vanceae, honors Miss Lola E. Vance (1884-1984), later Mrs. Jacob Lievense, who gave Eigenmann a small collection of fishes from Peru, which included the holotype of this species.[4]
