Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Listrura boticario (a catfish, no common name) - Uncertain Risk

Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.

Listrura boticario is a trichomycterid catfish native to eastern Brazil, where it inhabits shallow pools with abundant leaf litter. Very little is known about its biology because only one specimen is known. The species has not been reported as introduced outside its native range, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Along with other trichomycterids, it is listed as a prohibited species by the state of Florida. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk posed by L. boticario is uncertain.
