Harttia rhombocephala is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the suckermouth armored catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the mailed catfishes.[2] This catfish is endemic to Brazil, where it is known only from the type locality, the Farias River, a small drainage that flows into Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro State. The holotype is missing so this may not be a valid species,[1] although Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes recognizes it as vaild.[2]
