Identity and locality
Hypancistrus sp. L004; not a described species
Rio Tocantins near Cametá, Pará, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Specialist Cat-eLog groups L004/L005/L028/L073 as undescribed Angelicus Hypancistrus forms with differing import-locality histories. A medium spotted appearance or the invalid trade name Peckoltia angelicus does not establish a binomial species. An independent Hypancistrus sp. L004 species-complex treatment distinguishes juvenile L004 and mature L005 from Tocantins near Cametá, with L028 from Guamá and L073 from Rio do Pará. Grouped hobby labels do not constitute a formal species description or a common captive founder tree.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Male guarded cave spawns have been reported by specialist keepers; record lineage and exact location rather than declare a newly bred color strain.
