Boeseman's catfish, Hoplisoma boesemani, long known as Corydoras boesemani, is an armoured catfish endemic to the upper Suriname River system in Suriname. It appears abundant there, in clear, soft, acidic water over sand, mud and leaf litter, with juveniles forming large aggregations and adults smaller groups. It is uncommon in the hobby but has been collected on a handful of occasions.
