Identity and locality
Hopliancistrus wolverine (2021); original L017 image caution
Middle and lower Rio Xingu rapids, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
2021 Hopliancistrus revision describes H. wolverine with fine yellow dots and five branched anal-fin rays, but explicitly notes original early 'L17' depiction was a Pseudancistrus later described as P. asurini. The code has a historical identification problem and cannot be treated as unequivocal species evidence.
