Identity and locality
Ancistrus verecundus Fisch-Muller et al., 2005

Diagnostic evidence and naming
Original description distinguishes absence of adipose fin and less-developed snout tentacles compared with A. parecis; dorsal midline plates form a low postdorsal ridge. A. verecundus was described in 2005 from the upper Madeira system, Brazil. The original diagnosis distinguishes it from A. parecis despite reduced adipose fins in both.
