Astroblepus eigenmanni is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Astroblepidae, the climbing catfishes.[1] This catfish is found in the Pacific coastal drainages of Ecuador.[2]
The specific name honours the German-born American ichthyologist Carl H. Eigenmann, who lent the describer of this species, Charles Tate Regan, specimens, and who reported this species as Cyclopium cyclopum in 1888.[3]
