Sturisoma nigrirostrum is a species of armored catfish endemic to Peru, where it is found in the Ucayali River basin. This species inhabits gently to swiftly flowing white waters, typically in areas with abundant submerged wood in the main river flow. It grows to a length of 22 centimetres (8.7 in). Sexual dimorphism is evident, with hypertrophied odontodes on the sides of the male's head.
