Identity and locality
Baryancistrus xanthellus (specialist L081 label)
Rio Xingu basin, Pará, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Specialist index maps L081 to B. xanthellus, but the 2011 original description specifically documents L018, L085 and L177 types. Keep L081 code sourced to specialist catalog and do not attribute a fourth independently validated locality or phenotype from the original paper.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Same nominal species does not imply all market specimens share known genetic parentage.
