Abstract
An expedition to the middle Río Purus basin uncovered a remarkable new species of the genus Spinipterus. The new species has a very distinct and conspicuous colour pattern resembling a jaguar and it is almost four times larger than

Spinipterus acsi

, a small specimen (32 mm LS) from Caño Santa Rita, a right bank tributary of Río Nanay in Peru and a second specimen was reported from Río Juruá, Amazonas State, Brazil. Although the new species is more similar in size and colour pattern to

Liosomadoras

, it shares the synapomorphies for Spinipterus. The new species differs from the congener by the following characters: (1) colour pattern with large black rosette‐like spots over a light yellow to brown background (v. brown background with small dark blotches over the body); (2) adult body size reaching 104.5 mm LS (v. maximum known size 37.1 mm LS); (3) posterior process of cleithrum short, never reaching vertical through the dorsal‐fin origin (v. posterior process long, surpassing vertical through the dorsal‐fin origin); (4) seven soft pectoral‐fin rays (v. six); (5) caudal fin truncated (v. caudal fin rounded).
