Understanding the potential distribution of non-native species can be an important tool in preventing biological invasions. We recorded for first time Psellogrammus kennedyi , a small characiform, Lower Paranapanema River, Brazil. According to environmental variables and prediction modeling, presents high Upper Paraná river basin. The model used herein is efficient determine where may able establish. This approach as preventive measure, once control eradication measures are often ineffective uneconomical.
