Abstract
La ictiofauna neotropical es la más diversa del mundo, sin embargo, es también la menos estudiada. Por ejemplo, son escasos los reportes de casos de aberraciones pigmentarias en peces dulceacuícolas, especialmente en especies altoandinas. Este estudio reporta nuevos casos de leucismo en dos especies del género Astroblepus (Siluriformes: Astroblepidae). Los individuos presentaron despigmentación en casi todo el cuerpo, excepto en el iris ocular, pedúnculo caudal, aletas dorsales y caudales. Posiblemente, la endogamia y la contaminación de sus hábitats estén causando estrés en estas poblaciones de peces, potenciado la aparición de esta aberración.
