Identity and locality
Ancistrus kellerae de Souza et al., 2019
Northwestern Guiana Shield / Orinoco region; inspect type records for exact creek
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Formal 2019 revision distinguishes kellerae within spotted yellow-white Ancistrus from patronus/nudiceps and from flattened leoni. Named in honor of Constance Templeton Keller, not a breeder of a color strain. The 2019 original revision describes A. kellerae from the Potaro drainage of Guyana; an independent specialist catalog records the same named taxon and type provenance, not a domestic color lineage.
