Comments: Known from the Rio Xingu and the Rio Tapajós drainages, both on the main river channels and their tributaries. Most specimens have been sampled after 2004, the year when construction of dams in the Xingu and Tapajos began. Spatuloricaria species may be preseumed extirpated from the entire impacted area of the dams, since species of the genus do not occur in still waters (Ref. 96500).
