Abstract
Dicrossus gladicauda sp. n. is described from the drainage of the lower río Atababo in Colombia. It can be distinguished from all other Dicrossus species by the asymmetrical shape of the caudal fin of adult males which develop a long filamentous streamer by the extension of their caudal-fin rays D3 and D4.
