Crenicichla semifasciata was described from the rio Paraguai in “Caicara” (in front of Caceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil) and has been reported in the rio Paraguai and lower portion of the rio Parana downstream of the Itaipu hydroelectric dam, but considered absent in the upper rio Parana and in the rio Uruguai basin. In this paper, we document the first record of C. semifasciata in a first order stream of the Ribeirao Buritis, tributary of the rio Sao Jose dos Dourados, upper rio Parana basin.
