Identity and locality
Hemiancistrus guahiborum (Werneke et al., 2005)
Middle and upper Orinoco with Caura, Ventuari and Ocamo, Venezuela
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Original 2005 scientific description diagnoses orange dorsal/caudal margins combined with spotted or unbanded dorsal and tan lateral areas. Commonly mapped L106. The similar L122 requires specific diagnosis rather than automatic synonymy.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Wild collection and cave breeding research need to be separated; species name does not assign a captive founding breeder.
