Identity and locality
Hypancistrus parkateje Araújo et al., 2025 (2024 online)
Middle Rio Tocantins bedrock rapids, Pará, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Original diagnosis shows a dark E-shaped snout mark, long cheek odontodes, three anterior oblique dark bars, and a multigene phylogeny grouping it with Xingu H. zebra apart from an Orinoco clade. No historical L number has been verified for this species.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Distinct wild described species is not a new zebra morph; field sampled rapids do not constitute safe breeding-tank specifications.
