Copionodon lianae is a species of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae.[1] It is found in the Grisante River, a tributary of the Mucujê River, which is a tributary of the Paraguaçu River in Bahia, Brazil.[2] This species reaches a length of 6.2 cm (2.4 in). [3]

The catfish is named in honor of ichthyologist Liana Figueiredo Mendes, of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil, who collected the type specimens.[4]
