Peckoltia compta De Oliveira, Zuanon, Rapp Py-Daniel & Rocha 2010

This species is distinguished from all of its congeners by the following characters: a clear stripe inside the dark brown bars running from snout tip to anterior margin of eyes (vs. absence of the clear stripe and a mottled appearance in P. vittata, and a mix of vermiculations and spots on the head of the other congeners); except from P. bachi, by the presence of small dark brown spots only on fin rays, rarely reaching the interradial membranes (vs. dark spots on interradial membranes or dark stripes covering the whole fin or plain); except from P. bachi by the interorbital distance, 31.1-32.9 (vs. 51.5-71.0% HL); except from P. bachi, P. braueri, P. brevis , P. cavatica, P. lineola and P. vittata by its larger cleithral width 32.3-34.6 (vs. 20.8-32.4% SL); except from P. cavatica, P. snethlageae and P. sabaji by its smaller head depth 57.8-62.2 (vs. 63.5-87.7% HL) (Ref. 84541).

Peckoltia compta is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Tapajós basin in Brazil. The species reaches 6.2 cm (2.4 inches) SL. It was described in 2010 by Renildo Ribeiro de Oliveira and Jansen Zuanon (of the National Institute of Amazonian Research), Lúcia Rapp Py-Daniel, and Marcelo Salles Rocha (of Amazonas State University) primarily on the basis of coloration and patterning. Its specific epithet, compta, is stated to be derived from the Latin word for "adorned" or "ornamented", referring to the species' distinctive color pattern.
