Scientific Name Corydoras (lineage 6) gladysae  Calviño & Alonso, 2010
Common Names Gladys' Cory
Gladys Pansermalle (Denmark)
Type Locality Calchaquí River, 25°02'59"S, 66°06'25" W, Payogasta, Cachi Department, Salta Province, Argentina, elevation 2430 meters.
Pronunciation kor ee doh rass (lineage six).
Etymology Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. This species is dedicated to its first collector Gladys Ana María Monasterio de Gonzo, Argentine ichthyologist of the Universidad Nacional de Salta (UNSa), who for more than 20 years has been contributing to the knowledge of the diversity, distribution and biology of fishes in the Salta province, Argentina.
