L122 — Orange Seam relative, provisional

TaxonomyResearch draft

Hemiancistrus sp. L122 / compare H. guahiborum L106

Identity and locality

Hemiancistrus sp. L122 / compare H. guahiborum L106

Orinoco region; exact L122 collection site unverified in this pass

Diagnostic evidence and naming

Specialist profile compares L122 with described L106 H. guahiborum and notes differing profile, with possible relatedness but no secure species synonym. Retain L122 provisional instead of force-reassigning to L106. A historical expert comparison cites original type and non-type H. guahiborum L106/L122 material and competing classifications: some authors favor two regional variants of one species, others distinct taxa. The holotype derives from Rio Ventuari; L122 upper Orinoco trade identity remains disputed. Also recorded under Guyanancistrus in later treatments; do not force synonymy without new vouchers.

Breeding and genetics limitations

Original exact wild location, taxonomic specimens and breeding reports pending; no strain inheritance claim.
