This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Tencatt, Luiz Fernando Caserta, Britto, Marcelo Ribeiro de (2016): A new Corydoras Lacépède, 1803 (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae) from the rio Araguaia basin, Brazil, with comments about Corydoras araguaiaensis Sands, 1990. Neotropical Ichthyology (e 150062) 14 (1): 1-12, DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20150062, URL: dx.doi.org/10.1590/1982-0224-20150062 A new species of Corydoras is described from the rio Araguaia basin, Goiás, Brazil.

The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by presenting the following features: infraorbital 1 with very large ventral laminar expansion; infraorbital 2 contacting compound pterotic; flanks densely covered by irregular black spots; and ventral surface of trunk densely covered by coalescent relatively well-developed platelets. It is also discussed the possibility that C. araguaiaensis comprehends a complex of species.
