Rondonacara hoehnei

Rondonacara hoehnei is a species of cichlid fish of the subfamily Cichlinae. This species is endemic to the upper das Mortes River basin in the Araguaia drainage of central Brazil.[1][3] This species is the only known member of its genus, but it was formerly included in Aequidens.[1] Although not yet rated by the IUCN, it has been suggested that it is seriously threatened and should be considered critically endangered.[1] The specific name honour the collector of the type specimen, the Brazilian botanist Frederico Carlos Hoehne (1882-1959).[4]
