Identity and locality
Hypancistrus sp. L201 (do not assume H. contradens)
Orinoco / Rio Negro hobby shipments; locality confirmation required
Diagnostic evidence and naming
L201 trade usage is distinct from L102 H. inspector. Some early hobby images sold as L201 were later identified as H. contradens, but modern specialist indexes still list a separate Hypancistrus sp. L201; do not automatically synonymize them.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Breeder mating logs cannot substitute for specimen diagnostic ID; use dorsal/spot-pattern photographs and source locality.
