Identity and locality
Ancistrus luzia Neuhaus et al., 2022
Tapajós/Teles Pires basin and Xingu/Iriri collection material, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Original Neotropical Ichthyology description explicitly crosswalks L159 to A. luzia. Fine dark vermiculated body lines and a fully developed adipose fin distinguish it from A. parecis/tombador/krenakarore. The specialist species catalog confirms that Ancistrus luzia was formally described in 2022 and cross-references the historic hobby label L159. Its type provenance is the Teles Pires drainage; no inheritance ratios follow.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Historical wild locality variation is not documented inherited domestic line diversity. Breeder pedigree and aquarium parameters require direct evidence.
