L056 — Golden Broad-headed label is WRONG

TaxonomyResearch draft

Unresolved Guyanancistrus/Pseudancistrus sp. L056; not Parancistrus aurantiacus

Identity and locality

Unresolved Guyanancistrus/Pseudancistrus sp. L056; not Parancistrus aurantiacus

Rio Araguari, Amapá, Brazil (historical code source)

Diagnostic evidence and naming

2019 BSSW research traces original DATZ L056 to an undescribed fish from Rio Araguari (first issued 1990). Aqualog reportedly mislabeled the already-described P. aurantiacus with L056 in 1995. The specialist databases vary on provisional genus; taxon uncertainty remains.

Breeding and genetics limitations

Separate the true scientific species Parancistrus aurantiacus from the genuine unresolved L056 record. Never propagate wrong founder or locality.
