Copionodon is a genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae. It includes three species, C. lianae, C. orthiocarinatus, and C. pecten.[1] C. orthiocarinatus and C. pecten originate from the Mucujê River, a tributary of Paraguaçu River in Brazil. C. lianae originates from the Grisante River, a tributary of the Mucujê River.[1] Copionodon species grow to about 3.8–6.2 centimetres (1.5–2.4 in) SL.[2][3][4]
