Identity and locality
Ancistrus greeni (Isbrücker, 2001)
Peruvian Madre de Dios/upper Amazon locality in redescription
Diagnostic evidence and naming
2020 paper redescribes greeni, an Ancistrus with unusual unicuspid teeth. The original epithet replaced an occupied older maculatus name; unlike maldonadoi it has relatively smaller orbit measurements. Eschmeyer and specialist catalog history places Ancistrus greeni with an uncertain original Peruvian type locality and notes the preoccupied historic maculatus naming, whereas the 2020 redescription clarified diagnosis from A. maldonadoi; a precise founding aquarium population is not known.
Breeding and genetics limitations
