Astroblepus simonsii is a species of catfish of the family Astroblepidae.

[1][2] Named in honor of the American natural history collector in South America, Perry O. Simons (1869-1901), who collected the type specimen.

Later his guide murdered him while crossing the Andes of Argentina, presumably for his money and gear.
