Identity and locality
Hemiancistrus subviridis
Orinoco / Casiquiare drainages, Venezuela
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Described separately from Baryancistrus demantoides in 2005. Lacks the dorsal/adipose fin membrane connection. Historical L200 label applies to both species; identify by morphology and provenance. The 2005 original treatment distinguishes its unconnected dorsal/adipose fins and fewer than 30 teeth per jaw ramus from B. demantoides.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Do not combine stocks by shared L200 label without verified species identity.
