Provenzano, F.R. & Villa-Navarro, F.A. 2017. A new species of the catfish genus Cordylancistrus (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) from the Magdalena River, Tolima, Colombia. Zootaxa, 4294, Number 5, 522-530.
Abstract:
A new species of catfish is described from Colombia, and provisionally assigned to the genus Cordylancistrus. The new species is most similar to C. perijae and C. nephelion from Venezuela. The description is based on ten specimens collected from tributaries of the Magdalena River which drain the eastern slope of the Cordillera Central and the western slope of Cordillera Oriental, in the Department of Tolima. The new species is the first Cordylancistrus described from the Magdalena River basin. With this discovery, the number of Cordylancistrus species in Colombia increases to three. The geographic distribution of the species suggest that Andean orogenesis played an important role in the diversification of the group.

Hi all,
As a follow up after getting the paper in hand, the full name of the species is Cordylancistrus pijao.
Also, Eric you did not do bad with your database search. The notice of the description of this species did not appear online until after 10 PM Eastern Standard Time on 20 July (although it is listed under papers for 21 July).
