Satanoperca mapiritensis is an eartheater cichlid native to the lower Río Orinoco basin in northern Venezuela, including the ríos Caura and Caroní. Uncommon in the aquarium trade, its name is frequently misapplied to S. leucosticta and similar, unidentified forms. Adults have white spots and vermiculations on the head, most intense on the operculum, and pale orange lips. Genetic research suggests it may turn out to be conspecific with S. jurupari and S. rhynchitis.
