Hisonotus alberti is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armoured catfishes, and the subfamily Hypoptopomatinae, the cascudinhos.[2] This catfish occurs in the upper basins of the Paraná and São Francisco Rivers in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul.[1] This species reaches a standard length of 3.4 cm (1.3 in).[3] H. alberti was first formally described in 2016 by Fábio Fernandes Roxo, Gabriel de Souza da Costa e Silva, Brandon T. Waltz & Jorge Enrique García-Melo with its type locality given as the municipality of São Roque de Minas, ribeirão das Posses, upper rio Paraná basin at 20°17'15"S, 46°34'53"W.[4] Its specific name honours the American ichthyologist James S. Albert of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in recognition of his work on Neotropical freshwater fishes.[5]
