The julii cory, Hoplisoma julii, long known as Corydoras julii, is an armoured catfish from coastal river systems south of the Amazon delta in northeastern Brazil. Also known as 'leopard cory' or 'three-lined cory', it is often confused with H. trilineatum from the upper Amazon, and many fish traded as C. julii are that species. H. julii has numerous small, distinct spots on the head, where H. trilineatum has vermiform markings, though some H. trilineatum are spotted too.
