Astroblepus simonsii is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Astroblepidae, the climbing catfishes.[1] This catfish is found in the Pacific slope drainages of Ecuador and Peru.[2] This species attains a maximum standard length of Template:Cvt.[3]
The specific name honors the American natural history collector in South America, Perry O. Simons, who collected the holotype. Later his guide murdered him while crossing the Andes of Argentina, presumably for his money and gear.[4][5]
