Hollandichthys multifasciatus is a species of characin native to tropical South America.[1] It inhabits coastal rivers of southern Brazil, where it occurs from the state of Rio de Janeiro to the state of Rio Grande do Sul.[1] Although there are claimed records from Uruguay, these are likely erroneous.[2]
