Identity and locality
Lasiancistrus saetiger Armbruster, 2005
Rio Guamá near Ourém, Pará, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Original paper describes a Rio Guamá species with unplated abdomen, large white head spots, black outlining of body plates and unspotted gray dorsal/caudal fins. Lasiancistrus saetiger was described from Rio Guama, Brazil, in 2005, and distinguished by gray fins in that revision. It is not a captive inheritance experiment.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Taxonomic characters established from type fish do not prove an aquarium breeder invented a spotted variant.
