Identity and locality
Ancistrus claro Knaack, 1999
Rio Claro, Cuiabá / Upper Paraguay drainage, Mato Grosso, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
CAS Eschmeyer's catalog recognizes species described in 1999 from Rio Claro and the LDA08 hobby association. Bristlenose appearance is insufficient to identify generic domestic Ancistrus as A. claro.
Breeding and genetics limitations
No genetic relation to original Paraguay L144 yellow line or other domestic bristlenose morphs may be asserted without genealogy.
