Distribution
Type locality: Cueva del Nacimiento del Rio San Antonio, c. 9 km south‑west of Actalan, Oaxaca, on the Atlantic slope of eastern México (18oN, 97oW). Also recorded from Cueva de Maravillas in the same area where it co‑exists with an undescribed species, Rhamdia sp. undet. 2 (Mosier, 1984).
Habitat
Cueva del Nacimiento del Rio San Antonio contains a stream running over a substrate of sand and gravel with some areas of bedrock and flowstone. The fishes usually occur in the deeper, ponded sections of the stream, especially in areas over which bats roost. A rich invertebrate fauna is present in the cave and presumably provides the food supply for the fishes.
Systematics
Silfvergrip (1996) considers Rhamdia reddelli to be a synonym of Rhamdia laticauda.
